Exactly this.
One individuals choice is not more important than anyone else's, so when you make a decision that is very likely to severely affect others wellbeing you have to accept that the same principles apply back upon to you.
People mistake Liberty as being an individualistic thing - it's not, it's community based. So going to quarantine voluntarily is using your Liberty responsibly; refusing and making the Govt step in is a consequence needed to uphold someone else's liberty.

So the NZ government are not only kicking the Economy again they are telling residents they can’t be trusted to follow rules and stay in - considering there is a complete lockdown again and they didn’t have an issue with compliance last time?
@Gilzeantoscore 66 case in 1.4 million in the area is a handful.

My parents were student nurses (having just arrived in UK from West Indies and Ireland in 1966) but neither of them can remember the Hong Kong Flu, guess they were too busy partying to worry about such things judging by the medical students I used to know back when I was an undergrad!
I caught a dose of influenza during my first semester which left me (plus a couple of housemates) bedridden for several days, so can empathise and it certainly makes every cold virus I’ve ever had since seem like a walk in the park.

The Kansas City Chiefs plan to allow fans inside Arrowhead Stadium at 22% capacity when the 2020 NFL season begins.
The Chiefs, who won their first Super Bowl in 50 years in February, play the Houston Texans on 10 September.
Supporters will be required to wear face masks and will also be separated into grouped pods inside the stadium.
The Chicago Bears, however, announced that Soldier Field will be closed to fans when play kicks off.
In a statement the Bears said: "After discussing a draft plan with City health officials, the Bears and the City of Chicago agreed the health metrics show that it is not the right time to welcome fans back to Soldier Field."
The Kansas City Chiefs said the plans to accommodate fans during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic were made in conjunction with the NFL as well as Kansas City mayor Quinton Lucas

Yes, there should have been no lockdown (other than for those at serious risk).
The government got that one wrong, but a more stringent lockdown sooner would have been even worse.

In schools or general?
In general we are making baby steps forward which is like slow death whee others seem to jump forward then jump back. It's like 6 of one, two 3s of the other.
I'm not a fan of the lockdown but those that are surely have to be applauding the slow slow extra cautious approach to returning to normality?

The issue is then that they were completely indecisive and they are responsible for any economic issues that come of this.
Actually, I'd say they started with the correct response.
They moved to the wrong decision when the press and the public went into full retread mode over Professor fudgewit's Doomsday Machine and it's ridiculous predictions.
I can only think of one PM in living memory that would have had the nerve to stand up to that kind of pressure and hold her nerve.
