Some are saying the real question we need to be asking about #Omicron is not when it will arrive in the #NZ community, but when will @TVNZ reporters start pronouncing it properly. Oh dear! It may be time to ignore the 'all reporters must say oh-micron' memo. #journalism #COVID19

Welcome to @Jetstar_NZ - the company putting profit above safety. Time to never consider using this airline. #covid19nz

How much gold could a Goldsmith smith if a Goldsmith could smith gold?

Something something plus or minus $4b?

It's actually entirely inconsequential.

Just think of a number that makes you feel really positive about National.

1. Most New Zelanders are stuck in a 'she'll be right' cultural rut when it comes to Covid-19 which only differs in degree, not nature, from the refusal to accept scientific evidence that has assured the Mt Roskill Evangelical Fellowship a place in the history books. #covid19nz

[J. Evans Esq. @Gobbit]

2. Many have embraced the delusional notion that the risk in *my* situation is so low 'it will never happen to me'. So we engage in the same uniquely human tendency to build our belief systems from ideas that are independent of or in direct conflict with known reality. #covid19nz

Given that conservative evangelicals in the US form (or formed) a significant part of Donald Trump's base, this should come as no surprise. #covid19nz #NZPolitics

Seems weird that https://t.co/rnVIjJhwGs has *nothing* (unless it's well hidden) about Covid-19 and yet would have to be one of the most likely places for transmission to take place.

(And no, Facebook doesn't count. I don't go to Facebook to buy a ticket, some won't go at all.)

[J. Evans Esq. @Gobbit]

I guess he asked for it.
