TRENDING TOPICS

A selection of the best comments on the topical subjects on Otago Daily Times social media platforms.

Students selfisolating

Well, that was a crazy decision, wasn’t it. And what about the parents who have visited? — Cheryl Frew

People just need to relax. Last time I checked, zero cases in Dunedin. — Tom Ling

Last I checked, the students were allowed to travel to Dunedin during Level 3 because they were returning to their place of residence, which is Dunedin. I do agree they should have isolated for 23 weeks when they got here. — Jacinda Hughes

Can we not just wait until there MAY be a possible case in Dunedin before we all start jumping the gun? — Carla Thomas

Stupid idea to come out of lockdown so quickly to begin with and stupid idea for people to travel from Auckland to here. — Eric Neilson

Testing before heading south from cluster areas would be the plan, I thought. — Krissy Tuwairua

Queenstown business closing

The families and the community are suffering more than most in this country and New Zealand needs to stand by them. — Sarah Flynn

Plenty of other touristdependent towns are doing it hard. Rotorua is struggling with this issue. Stop talking about Queenstown like it’s on life support. They never had it so good for so long. — Rosemary Tristram

There are so many other places in NZ going through the same thing right now, but all we seem to be hearing about is Queenstown. Get together, pool your resources and collective knowledge and experience and you’ll come out of this just fine. — Matthew Wicks
