More than 50% of reported cases required hospitalisation. Surely, not normal?

Are the numbers are being hugely under-reported or some people are much more susceptible to serious illness now - covid trashing some immune systems?

and could it happen here in nz?

I may support some mining if reassured the companies are NZ owned, the regulations are robust, and the cleanup cost cannot land on the taxpayer. I use and want technologies that use minerals every day.

I don’t trust the parties involved though to get this right.

I’m constantly amazed how dumb “smart tools” are.

Siri has got less intelligent. Can’t do tasks now she used to. “Read me the news headlines”? Nah. (This is on the same old phone).

AI? Its google-type efforts are C- at best. Inaccurate, unclear.

We’re being gaslit by AI + the tech industry.

The military fetishists in our government don't seem to have considered that putting kids through 'boot camps' while not addressing the social issues that cause them to be there is excellent training for them to join an organisation with hierarchy, uniforms and strict discipline-like a gang. #nzpol

"...all parties need to adhere to the standards of Parliament, otherwise it doesn't kind of work." Luxon.

What, like the both sides of a contract? Even if that contract was signed over 150 years ago? Those standards?

Get your ass back from Peru and run your government you bald twat.

When a Parliament entertains a bill that undermines its own legitimacy then any ‘standards’ are moot.
Fuck off Luxon

Well, this explains a lot…
Police Assoc calling out Nicole McKee and I think of my question to my Nat MP:
Me: Was there anything the coalition partners asked for that Luxon turned them down on?
Them: I don't think so.

And that is the coalition we have as a result.

So digging into Nationals "data" on students failing in maths, it seems the "benchmark" that Yr 8 students are failing at, that has prompted this accelerated change, is based on the 2023 draft curriculum, which hasn't yet been taught in schools. 👀

Boot camps: ONE pilot scheme starting out of a Palmerston North youth justice facility in July for 3 mths (+9 mths of follow-up support?)

One boot camp in an existing youth justice facility=$5m.

Looks like govt is throwing mega dollars at it - “do whatever it takes so we can say it’s a success”.
