@antipodean the copncern is, that the UK Variant presents differently with a slightly longer incubation.
But yeah the woman who drove for days around Northland with her husband supposedly had the SA variant, and he didnt get it.
Hopefully this is enough to jolt some people into remembering to do thie rbit.

@antipodean Same as the chick who drove around with her husband for hundreds of kms but he didn't get it?
That was an amazing one. Although not inconsistent with the level of close contact between a husband and a wife. The 21 year old must have been on a booty call with the underage member of the other household, hence their reluctance to fess up

@canefan I'm told that didn't happen. What happened was they had excess vaccine and sent out an email to GP's and more turned up than there was excess.
Haaaang on a minute, are you telling me that we can't believe everything we read on the interweb???
-
@antipodean apparently only about 1 -5 covid carriers shed enough viably virus to infect many or even any people.
At the opposite end of the spectrum are the super shedders. We don't want one of them gyming it.
What fucks me off is the apologists for this guy. He;'s too young, there could be a language barrier etc. Fuck Right Off. Covid is the most reported even in history and we have been living with it for over 12 months. There is no possibility this fucktard didn't know what he was supposed to do. He simply decided he didn't want to follow the rules.

So why the sudden unscheduled need to get people in for the jab? Mrs CF's sister got the call early Saturday evening with an offer to have the first shot immediately, no prior warning. That isn't evidence of a cohesive plan to me
-
@canefan they distribute it out to jab the border workers. For whatever reason they don't use it all. They send out an email saying there is some spare front up if you are interested. This offer is oversubscribed and they run out.
The Ministry said this situation is likely to repeat given they can't totally predict the uptake but that in future they will send out more targeted emails.
That doesn't sound like the lack of a plan to me. It sounds like Plan B but poorly implemented the very first time.

As far as I understand, this is what is happening in every country. If they have unused vaccine at the end of the day they text and call people to come and get it. Otherwise the unused vaccine will need to be dumped. I think there was an article about it happening in Israel in one of the Covid threads on here.

Yeah, it just doesn't look good. Clearly it is not possible to have a contact list of priority workers to run down as stocks of vaccine become available then.....

This guy is on the same page. South Auckland is on the front lines. Pay to get people to help spread the message. If it is too late to get existing staff or new staff up to speed early, enlist the help of community leaders and maybe offer some form of incentive. Try to create a real team atmosphere where people want to take responsibility for each other's actions
I'm loving the irony that a bunch of sky fairy believers think that covid is just a conspiracy and made up

The vaccine comes with extras and only lasts a few days once thawed, so it's easy to have leftovers.
Also, apparently NZ nurses can get an extra dose out of the vials - normally that takes special syringes (we have some, but not enough for everywhere), but our nurses managed to work it out using normal syringes. The vials hold 6 doses, so there's an extra 20% (DHBs were working on 5 doses out of a vial).

It just gets better...
It's the kind of thing you hide from contact tracers, right?

So the 21 year old was in contact with someone in the other household or he was covering for his mum?
-
@nzzp yeah why?
I think someone mentioned above maybe the 21 yr old was meeting up with a daughter in the household he shouldnt have, which is why they didnt disclose it, but in this case, they have disclosed all sorts, why hide this one??
FFS, people cant have thier heads in the sand so bad and not realise the risks of hiding this kind of info!

I think that was me thinking out loud. But maybe it was the mums all along and he was being the good son and trying to cover for her? Either way its fucken annoying. Hopefully now they know where everything fits we will be released on time

So many questions
-
Considering other things that the government has claimed and been found to be wrong, I'd like proof that the family were informed

Reading the headline she knew she was infected, so why would she need to be told to self isolate? That's like needing to be told the sun will rise tomorrow.

Just re-read it. Says infected, not symptomatic. I'd like to think the ministry were correct and the piece is a irresponsible effort by stuff. But they have been economical with the truth before
