New Zealand Covid-19 resurgence - A timeline of events. Video / NZ Herald
Police are looking into a claim made on a notorious terror website from a person apparently infected with Covid-19 and wanting to spread it.
The post has been shared on 8Chan, infamous for inciting terror, hateful and racist views.
"Long story short I'm pretty sure I have the woohoo flu- I was in the same restaurant as a confirmed case, I have a really sore throat and can't stop coughing...(sic)," it reads.
"How can I do my best to become a super spreader?"
The poster - only named Anonymous - goes on to say they have exams today and Friday for "big courses" and asks how he or she can change their breathing to "maximise infection risk".
"Is mouth-breathing better than breathing through the nose? I don't want to cough too much in case the supervisors move me..."
No location is mentioned in the post.
However, a number of University of Auckland students have shared it on Facebook in a bid to raise awareness among students - particularly those due to take an exam on the two days mentioned.
