• Covid update from main stream media.

    This is somewhat interesting. It is not the same old, same old but has some "new" points.

    "This is attributed to the level of immunity in the community making it hard for the virus to
    mutate." No metion of the vaccines affect.

    "So low, in fact, they are the lowest that expert modeller Michael Plank
    has seen since Omicron’s arrival in early 2022.

    But low does not mean gone, and people should still be getting their
    vaccine boosters, he added."

    Really, why when the evidence has shown that the the vaccines are only good
    for adding profit to the manufactuers.

    “Most people have now had multiple vaccines, and potentially have had Covid-19 multiple times as well. And so with a broader level of protection,
    it makes it harder for the virus to mutate its way around.”

    Lets get back to bsiscs, a vaccine is supposed to make one immune to the
    virus and yet here we have multi jabs abd getting the disease. Safe and effective, and get another booster.

    So slowly the mainstream media are coming to the real world situation,
    walking their narrative of 4 odd years ago back.

    There are other vaccines which require regular boosters to keep your
    immune system ready. For example, tetanus - even if you don't get a
    booster yourself, the hospital will often give you one if you have a
    deep cut or operation.

    The lower level of infection is certainly an effect of the levels of immunisation - do you have any evidence to the contrary?

    I am not aware of any such evidence - do you have a credible reference

    Whya re you answering items posted by one poster but to a different poster. Your holiday clearly didn't help.
    It's a really pointless, lazy and potentially childish thing to do.

    That is not correct Rich. When you respond to a post in a newsgroup
    it is a response to the previous poster. The medium is via the
    newsgroup but the response is not. If you respond to me then your
    response will show as a sub thread of my post. If you respond to any
    other poster it should appear as likewise - a sub thread of that
    poster.

    You use Forte Agent as your news reader. The hierarchy of how posts
    to a thread is represented is well illustrated in this thread. Other
    Usenet readers observe the same threading conventions of Agent. It
    has ALWAYS been this way and I have been posting yo Usenet using Agent
    since 1996.

    Prior to that I used a corporate app - dating back to 1990 - that was
    entirely modeled on Usenet conventions - that was a proprietary
    implementation on an internal only (Burroughs, later Unisys) network
    of corporate mainframes (that synchronised posts twice daily, back in
    the days when the implementation of a WAN was several mainframes that established connections twice daily through dial-up networking in
    pre-internet days. The architects of that app were involved in the
    deployment of Arpanet (a US Defence dept predecessor to the internet)
    prior to joining Burroughs/Unisys. That app was never released to
    customers. They observed exactly the same concept (every response to
    a single poster) and represented threads exactly as Agent does.

    It is totally irrational to expect that it is OK for you to respond to
    Gordon as a sub thread of a response to me.

    For Rich's benefit, this is how to respond to another poster (ie
    Gordon) in a thread.

    It is rude to respond to multiple posters in a single post.

    This is a group discussion - it is a Usenet Group - understand? In >>responding to a thread it is normal to address the paragraph before
    your comment; it makes little difference if a response is made to
    different posters within one response to other users of nz.general -
    indeed it can be preferable to a multitude of minor responses to
    different posts. There is no rudeness involved - just more effective
    group communication.

    That is not correct Rich. When you respond to a post in a newsgroup
    it is a response to the previous poster. The medium is via the
    newsgroup but the response is not. If you respond to me then your
    response will show as a sub thread of my post. If you respond to any
    other poster it should appear as likewise - a sub thread of that
    poster.

    You use Forte Agent as your news reader. The hierarchy of how posts
    to a thread is represented is well illustrated in this thread. Other
    Usenet readers observe the same threading conventions of Agent. It
    has ALWAYS been this way and I have been posting yo Usenet using Agent
    since 1996.

    Prior to that I used a corporate app - dating back to 1990 - that was >entirely modeled on Usenet conventions - that was a proprietary >implementation on an internal only (Burroughs, later Unisys) network
    of corporate mainframes (that synchronised posts twice daily, back in

    prior to joining Burroughs/Unisys. That app was never released to
    customers. They observed exactly the same concept (every response to
    a single poster) and represented threads exactly as Agent does.

    It is totally irrational to expect that it is OK for you to respond to
    Gordon as a sub thread of a response to me.

    There is little point in arguing with closed minds. I so not expect
    any sense from Tony, but in this case Crash you have also drifted a
    long way from an update on Covid . . .

    Well you are wrong and you know it. You are like a 3 year old having a tantrum about the drink you claimed you didn't spill. Did you use to blame other people when your nappy became wet?
    , but in this case Crash you have also drifted a
    long way from an update on Covid . . .
    You have no answer to the logic Crash has used.
    You are just plain wrong, give it up and try to behave!

    Well put Crash. Rich, when following up you are talking to a/the poster, and you
    need to keep in mind that other (lurkers) can see the thread.

    In a face to face discussion you make the point to a person in the group and the others hear what you are saying.
