Recovered number is complete nonsense
editYeah 122.59.34.48 (talk) 15:31, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing it out. Fixed now.-gadfium 19:21, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
Royal Commission of Inquiry
editThe Royal Commission of Inquiry is mentioned once on this page. Where should I put information about it from DIA's page Royal Commission of Inquiry and comment on it eg from the Green Party? A new heading, new article, or what and with what title? There are similar hearings going on around the world. Any thoughts on how to refer to the European Parliament report, Coronakommissionen, UK Covid-19 Inquiry, etc please? See also? New category? What others are there?

- The Commission has not issued a final report. Perhaps it is better to wait for independent commentaries on the final report. The Green Party moans are simply electioneering tactics. The same applies to any Labour, National or ACT response.It would be better to withhold comments on Political Party statements until after the election. OrewaTel (talk) 10:01, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
Jacinda Ardern
editHer name is Ardern, not Adern, and there should be a link to the page covering her. (Edit - to clarify, in the section on her resignation, her name is spelled incorrectly -- I didn't notice her name previously in the piece (as it's not what I was looking for), so I didn't notice that the link was above, my apologies) 2001:1970:49A7:3000:8601:FFAE:A136:6EFC (talk) 04:32, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
An editor has started an RfC about whether the announcement by the FBI and the U.S. Department of Energy that they support the COVID-19 lab leak theory should be in the lede of the COVID-19 lab leak theory article. Interested editors are invited to contribute. TarnishedPathtalk 23:41, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
Swiss Cheese Model
editThe "Swiss Cheese Model" feels somewhat out of place and would perhaps be better replaced with a clip of the Alert level system. It seems more like a promotion of the website rather than actual information COVID in NZ; i.e the concept of the "Swiss cheese model" would likely be completely unknown to most people and was never a widely known model (It's simply derivative of James Reasons' model in general, rather than NZ specific policies) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2407:7000:9C93:9A00:4D32:C7AF:31CF:E770 (talk • contribs) 10:30 (UTC)
- It shows the New Zealand-wide explanations at the time. A picture or animation of the alert level system can also be added.-gadfium 18:33, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
Recent Court Rulings
editA recent court ruling from the Court of Appeal of New Zealand on the 16 of February 2024 has ruled that the New Zealand Defence Force mandate for the COVID-19 vaccination is unlawful and does not align with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990.
