Low interest rates and the fact that investors own 34% of the housing market doesn't help. Honestly wages are too low to justify it. It's an unsustainable bubble that will undoubtedly crash

Seems a good apartment in Auckland is about $850,000 or $US550,000. But the part of the market that rents to foreign students has dropped because of the closed borders.

Percentage of unvaccinated as total covid hospitalisations has been declining over the last few weeks, as would be expected as the percentage of vaccinated people grows - and this could be viewed as indicating the effectiveness of vaccination.

Reading the vaccinated/unvaccinated percentage of hospitalisations, has been a morning ritual for me the last 2-3 months, but now it's just stopped over the last week or so.... although only that aspect of hospitalisation rates .... something seems a little dodgy imo.

Have sent of a couple of emails, but no reply yet ... although I guess it is Christmas/New Year

The vaccinated/unvaccinated ratios of hospitalisations is being released again, with unvaccinated now down to 37% of the current total.

There is a new angle now, with unvaccinated as a percentage of hospitalisations since the start of pandemic being listed - strikes me as a little dishonest, and an attempt to muddy the waters.

Check out this dribble. Likes it when people look different, but not when they think different - although it does help to understand why people were burned as witches .

Disappointed that media has published so much of this whiny garbage lately.

The scabs at the council have decided that libraries are now restricted to the unvaccinated, as some double vaccinated and boosted, and masked, losers feel unsafe around the unvaccinated - the ******
paranoid ***** are trying to say that vaccination doesn't work.

I hope that the library burns to the ground. Starting to understand what hate is.

The vaccine does not prevent transmission anymore. So that makes no sense, but governments are incompetent as always.

Starting to have an intense dislike towards individuals, more so than government - those individuals who have been given a platform for their paranoid hysteria.

On the lighter side - had one of these "pig monkeys " eating from a bowl of chips, on the verandah just last night.

More idiots cleaning out supermarket shelves as covid restrictions increase - some are probably the same a-holes bleating that vaccination should be mandatory.
