Looks like my idea of creating a WORLD SPORTS HAVEN in NZ is taking shape. Finance Minister is keen and officials are currently working on the logistics. IF and I know its a big IF we can be in two weeks ie May 12th onwards the first developed country to be officially declared COVID free then the opportunities are enormous. It needs careful planning however. Athletes need to be COVID free somehow. We can supply venues, flights, hotels and hospitality and officials. The demand could be huge for live sport and we have a short window to get it up and running.

I think the WHO may put an obstacle or two in the way of your plan...

WHO warns countries against issuing 'immunity passports'

"Immunity certificates" would clear recovered people to leave home and travel for work.

I'm a medical doctor and I know the difficulties of my idea. BUT I see no insurmountable difficulties if properly managed. We need the logistics worked out now and we need to use the time between now and May12th to be able to provisionally offer our facilities to interested sports codes and countries. The key is offering safety both for athletes and for the New Zealand public. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for a tiny country of just 5,000.000 to be a safe host venue for sport. No other country can possibly host world sport in mid May. By then sport will have been absent for over 6 weeks and sports addicts have been deprived of their drug of choice. It would mean entire sports teams opting to be separated from family for two to three months and minimal support staff. We have sports and training facilities , we have have empty hotel rooms and Air New Zealand is happy to fly teams here and back and across the nation. We are hospitable. Imagine if the 12 teams of the SPFL sent 20 players and staff. (We have plenty of physios and docs and refs ) that would require just 240 seats and could all fit on just one Dreamliner jet. We have 8 of these sitting on the tarmac. It takes just 24 hours to get here. BUT the SPFL could not organise such a plan. Far too radical and out of the box. English cricket is mulling it over (the main problem there is our autumn weather) so will probably choose to play in UAE.
I can but dream. Don't be a naysayer. It's the only way I will ever see Celtic in action in Wellington.

See it as a dumb idea why would countrys infected all over the world fly to middle earth to play a game of football and going by the science some folk may be asymptomatic meaning they may have the virus but don't display the symptoms

Although unaffected by the pathogen, carriers can transmit it to others or develop symptoms in later stages of the disease. Asymptomatic carriers play a critical role in the transmission of common infectious diseases

Iceland found during testing that 50% of there population were not displaying symptoms of covid 19 but were Asymtomatic .

So that is why it would be a dumb idea to fly footballers or anyone the other side of the world during apandemic

I'm sure your medical background would have known that

They also don't have as many flights flying in from affected areas unlike us, we just allow folk to fly in no checks nothing just waltz through ,,, no need to check anyone as that would cost money and resources we never have

Where other countrys tracked and traced then isolated UK played out the herd immunity card and still is ,this govt as done fk all it's daily press confrences are as far as it goes lip service in the middle of a pandemic

Wouldn't be surprised if the schools were back after next week and the markets opened up because the economy is more important to them

It's all sound bites. Colleagues of mine have symptoms of the virus but they wouldn't test them. I'd love to know who is getting tested if Care of the Elderly workers can't. All talk and no action as per usual and they're getting an easy ride of it from the press.

There journalists are all hand picked to not give them a hard time , your right about soundbites ,,,that's all it is ,,,frontline workers shouldn't need to constantly fight every step of the way for the items to make them safe at their job

Now there talking of putting the army in at pop up test stations , they would have been better just opening a central distribution hub for each care home /Hospital and such to come on certain days to collect there test kits ,

Instead this govt sets up in car parks and by appointment only ,,ffs logisicaly that isn't even feasable for the numbers needed to test per day and still they get away with it

Same with there job retention scheme , they allow millionaires and billionaires at a time of crisis claim the scheme which was set up (stop laughing) to help business's who would have trouble paying there staff ,,,,,to use it to pay their staff , while they live in tax free countrys and haven't paid taxes for years this countrys fkd

my rants over for the day , lack of cat launching due to the lockdown
