Fire and Emergency received more than 40 calls on New Year's Eve, an increase on previous years.

Spokesperson Adrian Nacey said the main issue was fireworks causing vegetation to catch fire.

"So this has been a particularly busy night for us which is really disappointing - all of these fires are completely avoidable and it's just too hot, it's too dry and it's too windy for people to be setting off fireworks at this time of year.

"I think people perhaps don't understand the danger that these fireworks create and how difficult these fires can be to bring under control once they're started."

Smokey Bear says: "Only you can prevent forest fires."

The article is more or less as expected, covid-zero is not working and hospitals are overwhelmed.

But this particular paragraphs stands out:

The disappearance of the videos and hashtags, seen by many as an act of censorship, suggests the Chinese government still sees the narrative surrounding its handling of the disease as a politically sensitive issue.

Western governments would never censor of course.

At 71, Kiwi athlete Sharon Prutton has been crowned world champion for a 13th time – in her fourth different sporting event. Coached by her son, she tells Suzanne McFadden she has even more sports challenges on her horizon.

Sharon Prutton lives by a motto coined by a friend: ‘Keep the old woman out’.

“I mix with like-minded people, and we all try to keep the old women out,” says Prutton, who takes an almost daily dip at dawn in the nippy waters around Christchurch. “I need to keep moving, keep doing things.”

Bless.

There is now evidence to suggest that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was interpreted by the US as a national security threat in early 2020.

Furthermore, there appears to be strong evidence that the United States Department of Defense (DoD) was and still is, in full control of the Covid Vaccine development program, including the clinical trials, development, manufacturing, quality assurance, distribution, and administration since early 2020.

The major pharmaceutical companies, AstraZeneca, Janssen, Moderna, Novavax, Biotech/Pfizer, and Sanofi, have been involved as “Project Coordination Teams” acting under contract to the US Department of Defense.

"Coincidences" are a contributing cause to died suddenly.

Unfortunate that the original source is behind a paywall.

In a submission to the national Inquiry into Long COVID and Repeated COVID Infections (Submission #510), Dr Phelps details her injury of dysautonomia, as well as that of her wife, former school teacher Jackie Stricker-Phelps, who suffered a severe neurological reaction to her first Pfizer vaccine. Specialists have linked both women’s injuries to their Covid vaccinations and told Dr Phelps that they have seen “a lot” of patients in a similar situation.

National coverage of Dr Phelp’s story marks a new level of media coverage and public awareness around Covid vaccine injury. Seemingly overnight, eye rolls and ‘anti-vax’ smears are notably absent from reporting. High-profile personalities have also stepped forward with their stories of Covid vaccine injury (Prof Gemma Carey and ABC journalist Eleni Roussos).

The new willingness of the mainstream media to openly discuss vaccine injury could not come soon enough for the growing cohort of everyday Australians suffering in the shadows.

The dam is slowly breaking. Lets see what happens now that Anthony "I am the science" Fauci has now officially retired.

At over thirty years old, HTTP is still the foundation of the web and one of the Internet’s most popular protocols—not just for browsing, watching videos and listening to music, but also for apps, machine-to-machine communication, and even as a basis for building other protocols, forming what some refer to as a “second waist” in the classic Internet hourglass diagram.

What makes HTTP so successful? One answer is that it hits a “sweet spot” for most applications that need an application protocol.

HTTP/2 is pretty well supported now, HTTP/3 sound promising in standardising QUIC.

MASQUE sounds neat but also potential security considerations.

Meanwhile, cannot help but feel there is alot of scope creep happening and that HTTP/1.1 remains the most practical point in the spec.

• Across 31 systematically identified national seroprevalence studies in the pre-vaccination era, the median infection fatality rate of COVID-19 was estimated to be 0.034% for people aged 0–59 years people and 0.095% for those aged 0–69 years.

• The median IFR was 0.0003% at 0–19 years, 0.002% at 20–29 years, 0.011% at 30–39 years, 0.035% at 40–49 years, 0.123% at 50–59 years, and 0.506% at 60–69 years.

• At a global level, pre-vaccination IFR may have been as low as 0.03% and 0.07% for 0–59 and 0–69 year old people, respectively.

• These IFR estimates in non-elderly populations are lower than previous calculations had suggested.

Wikipedia indicates that Influenza has an IFR < 0.1%

Remember: We locked down our country, broke the economy and co-erced an experimental product into the arms of our populace for this.
