@hooroo I know, at my last job my sick leave was capped at 100 days, and had <5 days sick in 10 years, my current job is 10 I think? I actually have no idea, I have had 2 sick days in 6 years here.
you are either a medical marvel, or one of those martyrs who feels the need to be at work no matter what
I don't think that all that unusual, before I wnet o Aus to live I had worked at company for 15 years and used 5 days sick pay and a couple of them were for a funeral. I worked in Aus for 23 years (self employed) but only had 2 days off, never felt I worked when I was sick, just some people don't get sick.

@nzzp I had to have a 'discussion ' with one of my team about excessive sick leave, they'd average maybe half a dozen unpaid days a year.
worked with someone who was going on holiday, didn't have enough leave, so told the office they were taking sick leave as annual leave. Then were surprised when the leave got declined. Like, WTAF...

I know there were days when I felt off but popped a few pills and got on with it. Those days are gone now

@voodoo the place I've worked at for 18 years has always had unlimited sick leave. Also had it for the brief period I worked at ACC before that, although it only kicked in after 6 months? maybe a year? We have other really good conditions and on the whole it generates a lot of goodwill from staff. You get treated like an adult until you prove otherwise... I am in deep, deep, cover!! Can't even remember the initial mission!

@nzzp ha yea this person would start showing the signs and you'd know the call was coming on Friday/Monday morning....
Although there are those that get sick by watching someone on TV coughing...but you look at thier lifestyle and more often that not, this would be a factor.

@aucklandwarlord Agreeing as I do that the pair broke the law, I’m in two minds about the actual seriousness of what they did.
There is a process that allows people to use exemptions to cross the border. Sure, they misused that but my logic says whoever designed the process accepted that the risks of crossing the border are low, otherwise they would have banned exemptions outright wouldn’t they? If that’s the case does it really matter how far they travel once they are through?
If the process lets them leave it presumes they are safe so why can’t they travel onwards? If Mercer is OK why not Hamilton? Or Wellington… or Wanaka?
The example it sets is clearly not a good one. If I read in the news that these people flout the rules and get away with it, why should I toe the line anymore? Why should I not do whatever I want to and screw the rules?
I didn't go further than walking distance from my home for the three months of the first UK Lockdown but as soon as that fluffybunny went on a jolly to Barnard Castle and got away with it I said fuck it.

Realistically, I'd think about 500 hours of community service - perhaps serving up meals at a homeless shelter - would be about right for Mr. Willis and his partner.
A little overcharging of a pro bono case would solve that little dilemma...

As the standard spacing between doses is 6 weeks, hopefully this means that we will have > 70% of 12 yo and over people fully vaccinated in about 6 weeks time.

Far out, when we took this seriously we actually got a shedload of jabs in arms. It's bloody magic.

Stats for 15th just released:
Of interest now is seeing where the bookings may plateau out at.
Since yesterday:
New bookings +13k
First dose + 41k
Second dose + 23k -

That's a remarkable turn around. Same first dose percentage as Australia.

Really hope we can get to > 80% fully vaccinated, give over 60's a booster shot, and open borders up.
by my maths .... So that is about 0.31% of people eligible still booking for their first vaccine in one day (yesterday) at this stage of the rollout. No opinion if that is good/bad. By my hunch it shows probably still a fair few percentages in us yet.
78% vaccinated or booked, increased bookings at 0.31% in a day.
