So far always in the smaller facilities, their protection measures not as tight in a lot of cases as the likes of RYM/SUM/OCA et al. I went into one smaller facility not that long ago and not one of the staff were wearing a mask, no temp check and no questionnaire.
I would like to know how many of these covid positive residents had been vaccinated. As rest homes have stringent visiting policies in Auckland, I would like to know if the staff member initiated the outbreak and whether that staff member was fully vaccinated.
What stage are we at for the approval of the widespread use of user-operated lateral flow/ rapid testing?
All staff but only “high levels” of vaccination among residents, according to this Stuff item:
“It’s important to note there are high levels of vaccination among residents of the home, and all staff are fully vaccinated,"

I read somewhere it costs a little over a US$1 to make and they sell it in a range of US$10 - 20
For many people Sharetrader has become mainly a place to vent emotions, rather than sharing analysis of stocks. It has deteriorated over the years. I had a break for nearly a year and it is very noticeable how unhealthy and toxic it has become in the last year. Many of the comments are really negative, and name calling and personal attacks are common behaviour. Diversity is not welcome. Group think is preferred. I am surprised at how shallow the discussions are. Sometimes it is better for your mental health not to read Sharetrader.

I have never read the book 1984, but I see there is a nation of Oceania.
At the beginning of the book 1984, these words are presented as the official motto of the nation of Oceania:
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
— George Orwell, 1984
The words are written in enormous letters on the white pyramid of the Ministry of Truth, which considering that they are obvious contradictions, seems to be an odd place to put them.
Orwell opened his book in this way on purpose in order to introduce the reader to the concept of Doublethink, which is what allows the people of Oceania to live with constant contradictions in their lives. Doublethink is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in one’s mind simultaneously.

The NZX50 Gross index inclusive of all dividends paid year to date is down for the year and headed for the worst year in more than a decade. This sets the backdrop for the tone this year as well as we're going through the worst pandemic ever experienced in over 100 years.
I could say a lot more but its probably best I don't.
heres a question for the people who work in retirement villages.
the outbreak at the henderson village last week has meant the stand -down of 1 staff member
what happens in an outbreak if a majority of staff members have to stand down ?
how will the village function
I see 2 of the fully vaccinated residents of the village are now in hospital
