Three Invasions

1) Protestors invaded central Wellington and are still there 18 days later. 

2) Omicron invaded New Zealand with thousands of cases per day now.

3) Russia invaded Ukraine yesterday.

The worst invasion by far is Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine. People are fleeing, fighting and dying. The protestors in Wellington believe their rights and freedom have been trampled on by vaccine mandates but that pales into comparison with what is happening to the rights and freedoms of the citizens of Ukraine. I agree with the right to protest but the Wellington protestors have ignored the rights of others to go about their daily lives unimpeded and free from threats and abuse. The Covid-19 Omicron invasion is now in the exponential growth stage we were warned about. In the past three days the number of known positive cases has shot up from 3297 to 6137 to 12 011 cases. 

Some items of interest I have read today:
