What might be stopping these support people from also assisting with getting vaccinations sorted for them? We're now at the stage in the vaccination program where, for the huge majority of the population, it's just as easy to go get vaccinated as it is to ...
How do these people deal with other everyday necessities of life such as getting their groceries? edit: also, how many people are genuinely in this kind of position?
@Sacha: everyone in Auckland can just rock up to a vaccination site and get the jab. Today. Tomorrow. Every single day over the coming week. Over the next week, even essential workers will have had a day off when they shouldn't have other activities taking...
Yep, it's accurate. Probably actually a slight underestimate. Along with 1 in 170 Peruvians, 1 in 320 Hungarians, 1 in 360 Brazilians ... https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
As for what my elderly parents might think about the risk of getting infected vs not being able to have family and friends visit, they would be very very strongly on the side of having people coming visit and let the infection chips fall where they may. ...
To my values and priorities, level 3 is still an unpalatable level of restriction on freedom of movement and freedom of association, once everyone has had reasonable opportunity to get vaccinated. I don't much care whether some government publication calls...
I guess if you asked a government official, they would call level 4 "lockdown", and level 3 "restrict". At least, that's the wording on the official alert levels descriptions. https://covid19.govt.nz/alert-levels-and-updates/about-the-alert-system/
I had always taken lockdown as levels 3 and 4. In both those levels, freedom of movement and freedom of association are severely restricted to personal bubbles, workplaces and homes. Whereas level 2 and lower, you may go where you please and visit whom you...
I'm touched. It's been at least four decades since the last time someone told me they think I'm sweet.
For the purpose of forming my opinions, I get to decide. Those opinions are partly informed by the experiences of some I know that are actually involved in knuckling down and trying to get vaccinations into arms in remote areas. And finding it's much more ...
So how long would you be happy for the willfully unvaccinated to hold Auckland hostage in lockdowns for? After all, you're sweet, you're not in lockdown, you can roam around as much as you want (except to Auckland).
I said I was one of the last ones to get jabbed, and I got my first on Tuesday last week. When my age group opened up on I went online and grabbed the first booking slot available at a local jab centre, which was for 18th August. Which ended up being the ...
Once everyone has had reasonable opportunity to get vaccinated, lockdowns for the sake of idiots that refuse vaccination will be pretty fkn unpalatable. By about a week's time from now, everyone in Auckland will have had reasonable opportunity to get their...
If people start missing out on healthcare because the system has been broken by idiots refusing a very safe, very effective and free disease preventative, you might be surprised where the public conversation goes. So the availability of a free, safe ...
18 months ago my cousin and her husband in Salt Lake City were doctors with that view to their work. They're now both psychological and physical wrecks from putting in waaaay too many hours trying to keep unvaccinated covid patients alive. edit: and ...
Yeah, that is a downside. Perhaps we could split them out and give them proper care and treatment.
Just put up a bunch of tents in the far corner of the hospital carpark as the unvaccinated covid patient ward. If they're unvaccinated because they don't trust the medical establishment and put their faith in de-wormer, vitamins C D and Q, crystals, poking...
Sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YZWsM-pCA8 Googling st jude patron would have got you the answer a lot quicker than asking here and waiting. But always happy to help.
I'm as sure as I can be without actually doing the tests myself. And I'm not motivated to do that. There's plenty of info just from googling Tesla range wheels. Some of it is the aero (or not) design of the wheels, but some of it is purely from the tyres. ...
Aw c'mon. St Jude is the patron saint of lost causes and hopeless cases. Surely that counts for something.
I really hope she lasts until Puckish gets let out of his cage, at least.
Hang in there JuDarth! Billy took the party to 20.93% in an actual election, but he went on to become Proim Munster! You can do it!
The bit you are missing is the range of efficiencies the engine operates at for a given power output. A modern engine that has a peak power of around say 160hp at 40% thermal efficiency simply won't be able to produce say 10hp anywhere near 40% efficiency ...
Another poll from Labour’s pollster UMR commissioned for corporate clients was leaked on Wednesday. That one had similar results for Labour but had National far higher at 26 per cent.
Why not ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY0WxgSXdEE
Oh all right. I'll settle for just vaccination passports within NZ.
Possibly a demonstration that the madman theory actually works when the madman really is mad. Which possibly also explains the astonishing forbearance that Iran showed towards numerous serious provocations.
If it were a binary between that and level 4 (or 3), I would choose what Denmark's got. But I'd be happier with something a bit more like a long-term level 2 with vaccine passports and masking in public places, potential superspreader events curtailed etc.
Indeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKDxK7nNE0A
Already rejected. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/jacinda-ardern-is-calling-on-new-zealanders-to-name-new-mr-whippy-style-vaccine-bus-service/LQJSMXAEWI2FYK4K4F5DPQB77A/
Weird-looking microchips in that syringe, too.
