Looks like the world has been misled about the effectiveness of hydroxychloriquine in the early stages of Covid19 treatment. Perhaps those who instantly rejected its use because Trump may be feeling a bit embarrassed which is probably nothing compared to ...
Rubbish, Thompson's Track is open. A better route than SH1
There is a big problem with housing. We live in timber framed tents. People simply cannot afford to heat houses to the temperatures the Government has set. The solution is much more complex than is currently recognised and involves house design, energy ...
I can agree with you on this. Never been to Somalia but have been to many countries with similar environmental awareness. Just don't believe Canterbury nitrate levels in water is that good a match.....
Thanks.........
"Blue baby syndrome" is a known side effect of high nitrate levels. NZ allowed levels are much higher than other countries such as the US. Some of our rural areas are prone to high nitrate levels. The relationship to dairying is not conclusive but ...
Reverse osmosis works.
I did a nitrate test on a shallow bore at home and got 11mg/L, after pumping for 24 hours it came down to 7. (enough to get a building consent) So, I got a deeper well drilled well into the 3rd aquifer and got 17mg/L. The welldriller said that always ...
I think you are overegging the relationship between dairy farming and nitrate levels in the Lincoln and Ashburton areas. Nitrates have always been high in those areas and dairy farming is such a recent development that its impact is uncertain. Obviously ...
"The US is not known for it's tolerance of dissidents and whistleblowers..." The name Seth Rich springs to mind.....
Great article on Stuff today. I hope it gets the attention it deserves. https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/300266207/coroners-report-tells-of-erratic-controlling-and-abusive-behaviour-that-ended-in-murder-suicide
You could house your homeless in the desalination plants............
We have our technical guy travelling to Auckland and then onto Hastings. The Admin was trying to book him into motels at both places. Almost bloody impossible as most are full with homeless!
"Women" have the solution in their own hands. It is the parties of "women", particularly "leftist women" who are pushing this nonsense. Perhaps it is time for the feminists to simply just say "No" to their own politicians. On another note, a sign that ...
Great comment. Women have battled for hundreds of years to gain equality yet now it is being given away by the confusing of sex with gender. How much easier is it to dehumanise the female sex by weakening its very existence? [TheStandard: A moderator moved...
The Selwyn should be coming back but no sign so far. The Central Plains Water scheme is supposed to feed into the catchment. We will see.
Correct. It is dangerous if not foolish to draw a link between Dairying, nitrate levels and cancer.
There is some relationship between nitrate concentration and bowel cancer and there is some relationship between irrigation/dairying and high nitrates. However the Ashburton/Rangitata area has had historic high nitrate levels going back well before ...
He lied - twice.
Have you read it? My US Democrat friends sing its praises along with 538 for polling data and its news aggregation is the most even anywhere. I particularly like how they "pair" alternative opinions on the same topic together. They don't seem to have an ...
I think you are correct. I only look at RCP about once a day. However, Trump legal team e.g. Sydney Powell etc. are starting to outline their argument to the public. Give them a chance, its only Monday.....
Biden now back to 259. RealClearPolitics have removed Pennsylvania. Has not been given to Trump yet but lots of things happening today. First working day after the election and the States are doing their own investigations as they always do. Trump's legal ...
Nah, like Slater and Farrar, the right wing blogosphere makes more money when the left wing is in power. Simple business decision by Murdoch.
There is huge evidence that the Russians did not hack the DNC servers like Seth Rich (probably was him) downloading the emails onto a drive and then on to Assange. He will probably finish up another victim of Arkancide.
I have a wide range of American friends ranging from Democrat Party establishment (who knows Trump personally and despises him), to those who think he is the greatest thing to happen to US politics. I find their political views very much like here, only ...
In the meantime........Trumps COVID unemployment employment compensation rate is $US600, almost twice what New Zealand is paying for similarly affected citizens.........and US cost of living is much less! Most Americans I know are happy with Trump's ...
And now we find that 2/3rd of Airport and security staff have NEVER been tested.
Me too. I think Rosemary is right on the money here.
Hang on.....if they are only testing those who are highly likely to have the virus and not testing any of the 80% of infectious people who have the virus but are asymptomatic, how the hell can we have any confidence in the testing?
That is exactly what the USA is attempting. Of course, the more you test the more you find. And that is why, Dorothy, we know that over 80% of infection are symptomatic.......
Silly, they dont have enough testing kits and staff resources to test everyone that needs to be. That puts us way behind USA and UK.
