Numbers have been inflated a bit anyway, by the deaths within 28 days metric. I saw on news a few days ago that they were revising that 'back' to counting in a more normal way. That metric really only useful if/when you are getting swamped. When that aired it was going to reduce the death count from 1800ish to 1200ish. So a 33% overcount.
Anyway, always was going to be an exit wave.
Pleased/mildy surprised there wasn't any over-reaction to the exit waves, Especially given the overcount. Guess the public are over it ... plus the threat/reality of recession.

@Kid-Chocolate It's been on the Herald. I just don't think it's news to most Kiwi's. We have accepted that there will be 15-20 "deaths with Covid" a day.
Daily readings of NZH and Stuff also seem to indicate most Kiwis have accepted we’ll always have a teenage boy band sensation and hook-up marriage reality tv shows, and that hasn’t stopped either news org from positioning the latest hype from that cultural crap to the top of the headlines.

Fair play to them. The whole thing has objectively been a farce.
NZ kicked the can down the road for two years while the rest of the world now has better natural immunity.
Glastonbury on two weeks ago with 120k people licking each others faces in a field.
Meanwhile....
Curtain twitchers in a NZ airport are ratting on the countries healthiest athletes walking to their plane without a mask.

When the tide goes out you can see who isn't wearing any shorts.
After two and a half years they still want people to buy into this nonsense.
Officialdom is pissing down our necks and telling us its raining.
People have eyes and ears, can see in their own social circles who is sick and for how long.
You don't see self employed people complaining of long covid.
Only welfare scroungers and people with cushy sick pay schemes.
An invisible boogey man used and abused by governments and layabouts alike.

@Steve TBF, I know a few people who have 'long covid' and they are not lay-about types.
I still havent had covid (that I am aware of) but the people I know that have had it and the flu that has been equally as rampant this winter, say the flu is worse, however the lethargy and energy draining of covid lasts a longer than the flu.
That being said, unless someone has it, Covid is becoming a non-issue aside from the constant attempts of the govt and media to keep it front and centre, and the 'experts' trying to stay relevant.

Point of order, isn’t that a 50% overcount?

Fair enough but there are plenty taking the piss with it.
Had to laugh at John Rahm winning the US Open last year after being nixed the week before for testing positive.
Or WIll Jordan running 60 meters on the angle for a try after being "laid low" with the virus and missing the first test and a half.
Give me a fucking break. Why are they even fucking testing people.
Its a global embarrassment.

Oh I have no doubt about that!!
But I think like the normal flu, some people it knocks you for 6, some barely have any symptoms.
My 17 & 14 yr old kids had the normal flu 6 weeks ago, took the older 4 weeks to get over the flu symptoms, but has had a persistent cough since and ended up with a chest infection, the other took 4 weeks but still has a slight cough...I was a bit off for about 48 hours when they both got it, Mrs TR got nothing at all, all the more surprising as she had had some significant surgery a few days earlier too.

That's viruses for you. Every strain can affect you differently, and every individual can react differently. Or similarly. Random as

this hits keep coming for the ABs....could go here, in a rugby thread and in the alternative to stuff thread....

@taniwharugby
It does say something about a lack of leadership though.Leaving aside the fact that they are not alone in ignoring the mask mandate it should have been predictable that this would get media attention.
The other thing noticeable in the photo's is the lack of uniform. How they dress makes no difference to how they play, but I'm pretty sure our successful teams of the recent past were usually in uniform at all times Not #1's but something that said they were a team.
Again just another little misstep to incite all the haters that they really can't afford at the moment.
If you've just been humiliated at home in a series you really don't want the narrative to include that you are ill disciplined.

Review in 2 weeks? Talk about being asleep at the wheel. The rest of us have been trying to get on with it for months. The self isolation rules are plain stupid now. I am sure there are lots of people ignoring isolation rules, and yet where are the mass deaths? Those are observing the rules are suffering financially, mentally, and for what? Meanwhile if you have the flu, which is arguably worse than covid19 right now, you and your household are free to roam and infect others at will. Ridiculous

Passengers entering NZ are expected to RAT test a couple of times in the days after they arrive. What the hell for? The focus should no longer be on covid19, but on the importance of staying home if you feel unwell untill you feel better, whatever the cause
