today's news from stuff

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/coronavirus/300329518/covid19-new-case-of-the-virus-in-managed-isolation-from-unknown-country

also said we have a new record for longest streak without community transmission @sbiddle

Don't jinx it now.

Remember we went 102 days WITHOUT CT previously.

And the only reason we're at this point is the fact we changed the rules around the definition of CT!

Let's just hope the family yesterday are isolated and they find a link. They also had multiple areas last night showing positive samples in wastewater.

I'm supposed to be heading over to Melbourne and Sydney in 3 weeks for a few days and will be annoyed if I can only go to Sydney.

Got to love statistics when you can get them like that. If only they printed the lotto chances the same

Cherry pickers: People have died from it / I'm not taking it / Better odds of not getting Covid

Also Cherry Pickers: Off to the supermarket for another $20 on lotto that I've never won $1m from...

I have never won lotto. I don't know anyone who has ever won lotto. I don't know anyone who knows anyone who has ever won lotto. Has anyone ever actually won lotto?

I know three people that have won first division.

Means I never will :(

Beats me by $5!

Way OT but a chap I know (old college buddy) won 1st division somewhere around 30 years ago. He invested it wisely and lives very comfortably now.

The most I've ever won was $700.

NSW is the most concern, apparently they were nearly recovered/less infectious by the time they got to QLD

Still touching wood, no local cases in NSW yesterday.

With 355 NSW contacts of the couple identified to date, the risk of local cases over the next few days remains. Hopefully all of those are in isolation though.

Linus Torvalds is not taking any of this anti-vax bullshit:

Please keep your insane and technically incorrect anti-vax comments to yourself.

You don't know what you are talking about, you don't know what mRNA
is, and you're spreading idiotic lies. Maybe you do so unwittingly,
because of bad education. Maybe you do so because you've talked to
"experts" or watched youtube videos by charlatans that don't know what
they are talking about.

But dammit, regardless of where you have gotten your mis-information
from, any Linux kernel discussion list isn't going to have your
idiotic drivel pass uncontested from me.

...

I think you are in Germany, and COVID-19 numbers are going down. It's
spreading a lot less these days, largely because people around you
have started getting the vaccine - about half having gotten their
first dose around you, and about a quarter being fully vaccinated. If
you and your family are more protected these days, it's because of all
those other people who made the right choice, but it's worth noting
that as you see the disease numbers go down in your neighborhood,
those diminishing numbers are going to predominantly be about people
like you and your family.

So don't feel all warm and fuzzy about the fact that covid cases have
dropped a lot around you. Yes, all those vaccinated people around you
will protect you too, but if there is another wave, possibly due to a
more transmissible version - you and your family will be at _much_
higher risk than those vaccinated people because of your ignorance and
mis-information.

Get vaccinated. Stop believing the anti-vax lies.

And if you insist on believing in the crazy conspiracy theories, at
least SHUT THE HELL UP about it on Linux kernel discussion lists.

Appointments will also be required for vaccinations in all DHB areas.
