Vaccinations really are the only path out of this. And yes we need to lockdown for the meantime.
Nearly two months on and this is still the situation. NSW's cases have been declining thanks to vaccinations and Victoria has overtaken us in the daily numbers (they haven't beaten our peak though).
Although they've kept their daily numbers pretty low, NZ has accepted that entirely eliminating covid is unrealistic.
Roll up those sleeves people!

Edit: spoke too soon, Victoria has overtaken NSW's peak daily case number as of today.
