It's really hard to know what the majority of people think because any discussion is immediately taken over by anti vax

Warning for employers skimping on sick leave as Covid wave hits Under-pressure employers taking a hard line on sick leave are being warned to take care with the rules.

National lamenting $60 billion Covid spend while they are on track to borrow $120 billion with no pandemic.

Labour saved 20,000 lives.

National are saving landlords and tobacco

The report’s rather simplistic suggestion that better information will somehow suffice (suggesting authors never spoke to or learnt from disinfo experts) doesn't counter what was then, & still is a strategic, sustained, sophisticated, industrial-scale, coordinated assault on the national psyche.

Yes, definitely. A lot of children and young people get LC.

- Children should not have been sent back to schools with no mitigations in place

- New Zealand needs to count and therefore prevent hospital acquired Covid infections

- Long Covid is a massive and growing issue that requires system change; legislative, welfare, health, mental health etc

It makes me so angry 😠

- Not only affecting "the vulnerable" and "the elderly"

- People need to isolate until they test negative, not for only three days

- Vaccines alone are not an effective strategy

- It's not ok to tell people to "just stay home"

In fact, where is the inquiry looking into official misinformation/minimising?

- Covid is airborne, aerosol transmission

- Not mild, should not be treated like a cold

- Masks work

- Clean air needed in schools, workplaces, care homes, healthcare

The 2nd Covid inquiry report shows broad approval for decisions made.

Were the funds well spent on two inquiries going over the same stuff - lockdowns, vaccines, testing, etc?

No.

Where is the inquiry looking into disinformation and Long Covid?

Each Covid-19 wave wrecks your health. Here's what you can do Hospitalisations and deaths from the virus are climbing as the ninth wave of Covid-19 surges across Aotearoa.

So, the 2nd Covid report is due out today & I don’t give a flying fuck what it says. I want a report on why this current government is doing everything possible to kill unsuspecting kiwis by doing absolutely NOTHING amid another killer wave of Covid variants. 🤨 #nzpol

“Pharmacies spoken to by RNZ say they haven't seen any unusual uptake in people coming in to get a Covid-19 booster in the last few months.”

Probably because we need to fund our health system which means we can then fund our health comms, the lack of which also wrecks our health and costs lives.

Wow. I've only just learned that 16 to 29-year-olds aren't eligible for more than one booster unless they're high risk. I thought over 16s could have six monthly boosters like everyone else. That's bad. 😮

Study links working while sick to higher risk of future absence

Employees who work while sick have a roughly 30% higher likelihood of later absenteeism than those who don’t.

Argh! And coinciding with large amounts of Covid in Chch wastewater 😬

Can we stop underage woman - for 14 yr old child
Thanks.

But I'm happy to see that 'every infection causes damage' is now a prominent point. Just... tell people that it's airborne (aerosol) and that masks work!

Super useful for school kids who are pressured to attend school when sick and can’t get boosters.

I personally think the messaging of pushing boosters as the be all and end all in every article about Covid is part of the reason so many are turned off towards it.

5 years late but cool to see this......
Except under the subheading
"WHAT CAN WE DO TO REDUCE THE RISK?"

THERES NOT ONE FEKN MENTION OF MASK USE OR MASKING WITH N95s or CLEANING THE AIR

It advises staying at home and boosters basically

Wtf

The Government has a responsibility to ensure that technologies launched from New Zealand soil are not being used to help other countries wage war.

If Rocket Lab launches from Aotearoa are supporting the illegal war on Iran then the Government must be transparent about this.

Spots are still available for people with Long Covid/MECFS in Ōtepoti Dunedin to participate in free facilitated creative writing workshops. I'm one of the facilitators. There's no commitment—if you think you might be interested, get in touch.

People think Lockdowns were traumatic while for 6 years we've been watching people become more and more anti science and happily kill each other with disease. What the fuck kind of trauma do you have of not being able to visit shops during the start of the pandemic you fucking wimp
