it shows your level of thinking... Nah, I also considered relevant context including your known behaviours here and the general tendency of tiresome Tory types to insinuate, shitstir and smear etc. Based on that other interpretations seemed less likely...
Are you insinuating that we should've continued with BAU & fuck the consequences? 'Cause that's what it looks like...
Why is National's internal polling being withheld from most of their MPs? Could it be that Simon believes that Curia's polling is also "consistently badly wrong"?
NZ also has fewer confirmed cases per head and has done more tests per head. Overall both countries have done not too badly when compared to US, Europe, etc. Considerable variation within both countries too (e.g. NSW, TAS higher than other states/...
@McFlock Aus data is lab confirmed only, no probables. Amazing how many people who should know better include probable cases in their comparisons, almost like they want to make NZ look bad.
Could be the game of creative data interpretation
What data? Data source? Measures used for comparison?
PDF is using NZ confirmed plus probable compared to confirmed cases only for Australia (they don't record probable cases). Either he is spectacularly ignorant about stats & data (unlikely given his job) or has deliberately inflated NZ's total to make the ...
Yeah, probably could've worded that better. The Gautret et al paper seems to have been/is influential in the hyping going on. Basically the small scale studies aren't conclusive either way and need the results of larger trials now underway. The paper in ...
Hydroxychloroquine is being touted as a possible COVID-19 treatment largely based on a single study: Gautret et al (2020). Despite passing peer review, serious concerns have since been raised about the content, ethics and peer review process (ISAC & ...
...deny reality and our own perceptions in favour of an authoritarian narrative. 2 + 2 = 5
Trump sycophant (indirectly) praises Trump. Odious.
Maybe National can bail them out since they obviously have such a close relationship. Make it the official party rag.
Winston got her appointed as Labour leader? (Or are you just indulging in creative misinterpretation?) Edit: snap
COVID Data: NZ Ministry of Health Aus Department of Health Worldometers Aus Worldometers NZ WHO data
Again, if you had actually bothered to look at the data sources, you would see that the worldometers source for Australia 22/4 is the Australian Department of Health. They even link to it themselves (go to worldometers covid Australia page). they have ...
If you had actually bothered to look into the data, you would see that the figures on worldofmeters for New Zealand are the sum of confirmed and probable cases from NZ MoH data. This is not consistent with WHO definitions which are confirmed cases only. 1,...
Australia reports only lab confirmed cases. New Zealand reports both lab confirmed cases and probable cases. If you are comparing NZ & Aus, then you should be using confirmed cases only. Confirmed totals to this morning are NZ 1113 and Aus 6647 (source NZ ...
You're wrong. Australian Department of Health is the authoritative source.
Incorrect. As at 6:00am on 22 April 2020, there have been 6,647 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Australia. There have been 22 new cases since 6:00am yesterday. Aus Department of Health
A more modest proposal would be to start with the babies.
Bad enough under Labour led government, imagine if Nats get hold of it. Or the sadistic fuckers at Work & Income...
Don't worry, the local Trump fans and deep anonymous pizza types will be along shortly to explain how it's all a misinterpretation.

I find the reply button intermittent on the desktop version regardless of device or OS. Seems fine on the mobile version (android). Desktop version viewed on my phone doesn't let me comment anyway (can't type in comment box).
About 300 people at a Queenstown supermarket are being swabbed for sentinel testing to examine whether there has been community transmission in the resort or not. - ODT Wonder if/when this will be rolled out elsewhere
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
