I ride a bike to work and shower when I get there. A couple of years ago they "renovated" the building's showers by installing smaller drains. End result, showering in ankle deep muck. As a result I got a sub-cutaneous infection in my foot that had it not responded to antibiotics over night the doctor was going to put me in hospital, and the next step was cutting it away. And a pharmacist assured me that it was just a bit of tinea, but when it had gone up my as far as my ankle under the skin I thought that maybe I should see my GP...

A coroner’s report has revealed that the Queensland miner who was Australia’s youngest COVID-19 victim didn’t die of coronavirus at all.

So, NZ has been awhile without a new case ID'ed, We've had one active case in hospital for a while now and then the #BLM protests happen in many centres around NZ. I don't condone the root cause of what is happening in the US, but to actually see so many people gathered in NZ streets protesting about it is making a mockery of what we have achieved through a very costly lock down. Technically we are at Level 2 still but personally I think we should be lower but this just ****es me off a tad when I (and all others who followed instructions) have given up a lot to stay in lock down to stop the spread and then I see people do this... ****!

There will be a lot of questions asked of these people (and the psyche that enabled it) if the gathering turns out to have been a means of covid dispersion but one would hope that after all we have been through to get to where we are at today with known infection levels extremely low, well, I hope there is no repercussions in terms of clusters of infection from this.

Opposition (and coalition) politicians are rightly asking that if this type of behavior is allowed to proceed, why then are we not already at Level 1?

The Blackwater miner test was a false positive. Coronavirus has been ruled out. That helps make the Rockhampton nurse's story less of a mystery, I guess. [ A good exercise for our Testing/ tracing teams]

From the few images I have seen the poor bugger did look like a candidate for a heart attack. The family is now looking to Qu. Health for an apology. Fair enough, they got the diagnosis wrong although dead is dead.

Two tests and two different results. I guess his levels were higher in one test than the other, so the higher was ruled positive and the lower negative.

This is why you need to have studies that are blind and reviewed. People directly involved are deep into local correlation bias. This particular doctor is being dangerous due to his complete lack of scientific method.

Good point, and what some of his colleagues have subsequently said in reply.

People will be looking now to see if the data correlates with the observations.

20% of patients experience adverse reactions.

1. Shock, anaphylaxis
2. Pneumonia
3. Hepatitis fulminant, hepatic dysfunction, jaundice
4. Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN),
oculomucocutaneous syndrome (Stevens-Johnson
syndrome)
5. Acute kidney injury
6. White blood cell count decreased, neutrophil
count decreased, platelet count decreased
7. Neurological and psychiatric symptoms
(consciousness disturbed, abnormal behavior,
deliria, hallucination, delusion, convulsion, etc.)
8. Colitis haemorrhagic

And then high chance of mutagenesis for any women that gets pregnant or any man that gets a women pregnant.

I suppose if you believe that science is bogus and people should be used as test subject, then it makes sense. It does not take a lot of adverse reactions to make the cure worse than the disease when the death rate is 1.2% for the disease.

Thanks for that. Even though it is a fact a large proportion of prescription drugs can and do have side effects [ if we were to read the consumer medicine information in each packet you would think twice about taking them] the benefits for the majority are deemed to outweigh the risks. But it does seem a long bow to draw for Russia to ok that for the coronavirus. The proof will be in the pudding . Interesting to see if Russia publishes the science behind their decision.
