5 minutes to spare, and no sign of having worked with Tam or Mansfield in crafting his response (but good to see the complete text of the lawyer letter). May be just enough to get Peters off the hook though. Still if there was a gang associate present in ...
They're not my community; Molly. They live on the other side of the world, and I doubt I even know anyone who knows anyone who may have communicated with them! Nor do I see why they should listen to anything I have to say, nor I to them. My Hapū are ...
Um,.. has no one else here noticed than these are trans men activists? "Suck my Strap" is a bit of a giveaway there. So if they were compelled to use the public spaces provided for the gender they were assigned at birth, they would be forced to use what ...
Pizza is basically cheese on toast. Putting marmite on that is not that uncommon - down in the southwest anyway. That exta vegemitey one from Adelaide does look pretty vile though. The entire point of a (small) smear of marmite on top of cheese on toasted ...
Speaking of Erasure, there are also NonBinary, amongst other, people to consider. I personally wouldn't be averse to; Pregnant woman and others, though I do know people who would claim than was literally Othering them (and it's kind of hard to disagree ...
It was more the loss of mental clarity that made even simple addition challenging for a day or two (let alone any statistical analyses) that I found difficult with my second vax. I made the the mistake of having my first vax in my dominant arm, which did ...
This meta-analysis does seem to bear out your contention that some of us are more social animals than others; Sabine: Human mobility and daily SARS-CoV-2 infection rate were significantly associated with the change in major depressive disorder and anxiety ...
One thing that the government could do right away is to stop exempting itself from the (legal) consequences of its inaction on CO2/ CH4 reduction (beyond a toothless declaration by the courts). Across the world climate change activists have been going to ...
Slater would be my guess, but I am not about to go toshing in his sewer to find out: “The social media sites that made this claim have no credibility and also did not refer to any credible basis for making such a claim. When you claimed that you were ...
How about Westpac (or is that CBA)? They seem to have a pretty tight hold on the NZ government's purse-strings: The All-of-Government Banking Services solution has been broken into four Services Agreements: Crown Transactional Banking Services; Foreign ...
It does make me a whole lot less likely to waste my time listening to any "journalism" they may produce. Time and attention span, are rather important in crafting anything worth paying attention to. He strikes me as the Mike Hosking of Northern Ireland ...

There was something about this on Stuff yesterday too. Roxburgh used to be all orchards (worked some uni holidays there myself - ate a lot of Jimmy's pies!), so definitely gets a fair bit of sunlight. A combination of solar and pumped hydro might be a ...
In Dunedin ED they were running out of toilets for nurses to cry (/ break down) in! Hopefully todays announcement (link upthread) means that conditions, and employment relations, can start to improve. DHBs & the Minister of Health certainly haven't given ...
... up on elimination - get vaccinated now, or you will be in...
At long last! Silly Buggers wasn't the best game to be playing during a Pandemic, even if the DHBs are unlikely to be around in their present form for long: The New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) has accepted the latest pay offer for staff working in ...
The public health system is pretty ramshackle. This from Bloomfield should give vaccination waverers a bit of a boost though (both carrot and stick): "They're less likely to pass on the virus and if they are infectious, they are infectious for a shorter ...
There was no media conference today. In a statement, the Health Ministry said 34 of these cases are linked, 10 are household contacts, and 31 remain unlinked with investigations continuing. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/453596/covid-19-update-65-...
Panic Saturday!
From what I recall; the older the person, the greater the proportion of cloudy memory T-cells in their immune system (named for how they look in a microscope). These seem to be to be the ones which are already remembering an antigen to alert the body to. ...
This is pretty ugly, but does neatly illustrate the tension between those attempting to comply with the rules, and others willing to exploit vulnerable people for their own self-interest. Leaving it up to private businesses does not seem to be a winning ...
Agreed BG! Assuming there are around 300K children under 5 (last census was 2018, so hard to be too exact) then 95% of over 5 year olds = 90% of total population (actually 89.3%: Assuming 5M total population, but figures a bit iffy for any such precision)....

The only thing I needed to read on that YT video was the publication date; 2 Jun 2021. Which was before much of the research on which the meta analyses were based was demonstrated to be fraudulent. However good the analysis, if it is based on false data, ...

It's in the link; Andre. Stage 1 Vaccination without additional precautions, Stage 2 quoted (in part) above, Stage 3: VACCINATION CONTRAINDICATED Documented anaphylaxis to one of the ingredients contained in the COVID-19 vaccine to be administered (Pfizer ...
Nearly; AFdeV, but something is off with the second line of your limerick. I think it needs another syllable in the second triplet (or at least a comma) eg With grave and most deadly persistance. Also There's & there is, would work better swapped between ...
Chris T - you demonstrably have internet access. Why would you need to physically go to a uni library? Lots of usually paywalled data is freely available for the duration, try this for starters: https://www.thelancet.com/coronavirus/collection?startPage=&...
My thought is that is simply projection from the critic's own worldview. So when say; Collins, claims that Ardern is milking 1pm briefings for favorable publicity, what she really means is that if she was in Ardern's position, that's what she'd do herself....
we contain it in Auckland – then we can transfer health workers into Auckland as need be. Even giving you the first part of that proviso; SPC (which seems optimistic), where do you propose that we get the health workers to transfer into Auckland? NZNO ...
