I'm sorry to be such an appalling bore, having already warned you of the
inefficiency of our health minders, but you really should know what a total balls the local DHB has made of the covid vaccination rollout.

inefficiency of our health minders, but you really should know what a total balls the local DHB has made of the covid vaccination rollout.
I have just copied this from the Stuff website - "Covid-19 NZ: New Zealand's vaccine rollout explained in 11 charts" By Henry Cooke and Kate Newton. 19:02, Sep 01 2021.
"Just 667,000 people in group 3 have had a single dose or more, while 470,000 have had both doses. Given we know that there are 750,000 or so people aged over 65+, we can be certain many of these vulnerable people aren’t protected.
...........it is striking that group 4 – healthy people with no existing conditions under 65 – have now overtaken group 3, with 1m of them having had a first dose, and 242,000 having a second.
This likely has something to do with the booking system. Many people in group 3 will have booked their vaccines well-before the “big" rollout got started, and with it the huge mass vaccination centres and doses at GPs. They might not have been able to find an appointment until late-September or October, while those in group 4 booking in recent weeks could often find a slot."
My wife (aged 73 and with COPD) had a booking for her second shot the day after we went into the recent lockdown. It didn't happen. Given that the clinic was doing 400 or so shots per day, her midday appointment would have put her at about number 200 on their waitlist. Instead, she received a phone message rescheduling her to an appointment 3 weeks later. That put her some 4200 places down the waitlist for that clinic. She's still waiting.
It doesn't much matter - we're all going to die anyway. But it is bloody annoying.

Looking for a semi rural property to shoot rabbits on in exchange for a box of beers every now and again. (I will use a high powered air rifle with a silencer). I'm a careful shooter and won't visit until level 2, cheers Cam.

What has been some good news in your neighbourhood that's happened during the lockdown?
Kia ora neighbours, we're getting a lot of stories about Covid-19 saturating our newsfeed and the media as of late and we're keen on helping put a damper on that. We'd love for you to tell us some of the more light-hearted stories that you think deserve a shoutout.
Maybe it's a community hero that's been helping out those that are self-isolating, something you discovered while out exercising in your bubble, or something you're doing to help pass the time.
