90%
quite suprised at myelin sheath regeneration. pins and needs are gone. stairs are no longer an issue, i can run and jump again. i can brush my teeth and use a pen without an issue. kinda blows me away how i can go from borderline paralysis to fully functional in 2 weeeks. the headaches post IVIG were brutal. today is the first day without headaches. as i sit here typing this i'm racking my brain trying to isolate a symptom for this post and i can't think of anything notable. the reason i say 90% is because when i do lunges(rear and front) i'm a little wonky, and when i do romanian deadlifts i have a tightness in my hips, glutes and hamstrings. i said i would do only the resistance days at f45 but i changed that up yesterday after waking up and feeling like i could attend the cardio/hiit saturday class, and that's when i learnt that i could run and jump again. quite surprised(but also not) at my recovery. edit: my cardiovascular system is pretty fucked, but that's to be expected. i'm still completing everything for time, i'm just not putting everything in to it like i normally would. i'm brutally aware of what the stars i'm seeing when i'm training mean Last edited by wazza : 30th April 2023 at 15:47. |

two weeks ago i couldn't do a single skip with the rope(my body refused to jump). this morning.. the first time trying since then, i went unbroken for 100 rotations on my first try/round.
continues to blow my mind how broken i was, how dire i thought things were. i'm also ignoring the easing back in to it, i'm back at f45 everyday it would appear. the DOMS are good, i love feeling this way. my weight has returned, too. not sure if i mentioned it, but the heavy pins and needles in my feet, legs and finger tips are gone. and my glutes no longer deflate involuntarily when i sit. looks like i will be able to do those 6 mountain races i prepaid for, starting this month and going until september. |

Just take it easy wazza.
Although you appear to be at 90%, your body will have taken a major hit and be running on thin wire on some essentials. Pushing too hard too early can tip one into long COVID. Pacing is key. I will flick you an email with deets to get a measure of some of these deficiencies. |

I seem to be 100% . had no issues with sprints in my warm up and things like kettlebell lunges are no longer wonky. dodged a bullet, imo. hamstrings are still a little tight but 3 weeks laid up would probably do that. i felt and looked quite deflated a week ago, but my glutes\quads had a nice pump this morning which felt good. i've increased my water and carb intake due to the flatness i was feeling a week ago and seem to be responding very well.
the body is mysterious and amazing at the same time ;p |

The most consequential outcome of COVID might turn out to be that the entire population has been shown that the government’s default course of action in an emergency is to just flat out lie about everything.

Heads will roll? Claiming that excess illness/death etc are from the vaccine & not from Covid is not credible.

New Zealand is one of very few countries to have an overall net negative excess deaths compared to the prior period. See here for some other comparisons. Bloomberg: The Worst Covid Strategy Was Not Picking One Armeina, Serbia, Russia, etc, all massive excess deaths in countries with very low vaccination numbers. How do you come to the conclusion that the vaccine is in any way related to excess death figures?

I still remember especially that summer when the world was struggling with the ravages of covid, the awful, lonely deaths people were suffering. All while New Zealand was covid free, thanks to a timely lockdown.
I had to mind myself when engaging with friends and colleagues working overseas, not to express my relief at what we were avoiding. Or just being too chipper in general.

However, based on NZ stats data, the increases are only in the elderly, not in the "young" (sub 50) category. The numbers have increased by more than our official COVID death count though, so there's that. Taking numbers at face value, more old people died than normal, and they weren't all COVID deaths, but they also weren't official vaccine deaths, so it's "unknown". I did some rudimentary analysis, and I did not find "heads will roll" data up until the end of 2022. I didn't include 2023, because there was only 9 months of data, and due to seasonality, I didn't want to just multiply by 12/9 and extrapolate a conclusion, and I wasn't prepared to work out what I should multiply it by. What this means, I cannot say (historic population increases reaching natural death age? COVID/vaccination was nothing for young people?), but if I was the person in charge of spending money and investigating things I'd say "no need, they're old" and leave it at that. You can have that conclusion for free, with no consultancy fee and let private individuals have access to data that they request and fund their own "investigation" into vaccine deaths if they feel it is necessary. I don't think it is at this point. There has not been an alarming increase in /deaths/ of young people, at least so far. Whether more young people are getting more [survivable/longevity reducing] diseases/illnesses is not shown in current death data, obviously. I wouldn't be able to hand on heart say "the vaccine is killing a significant number of people" (heh, significant, just a number m0f0s), but I wouldn't say "the vaccine prevented extra deaths" either because something caused more people to die, and the extra old people deaths is greater than the official "died from COVID" stats. But still, old people, so I'm not bothered. If in a few more years our deaths keep tracking higher and no one's asking why, that would be a concern, but until such things happen, it's pure speculation and preaching doom. I'm just some schmuck with a spreadsheet, so of course it means nothing, but births have remained stable, deaths of working age people is fine, so as far as the economy goes, we did not lose taxpayers, and we reduced super obligations by a few million $ per year.

Ah the evils side of looking at data, when 2 people can look at a piece of data and draw very different conclusions.
I look at that data, and while I don't have the data set to do proper analysis, I can see the trend of a lot of those numbers over the last 12 has been increasing - which would make sense with population growth. Then there is the dip due to lockdowns and we see the reduction in rate of the older groups - assumption is that this is because they are not catching a flu and ultimately dying from it. This then cause a build up of the vulnerable, and when restrictions were loosened, then the flu (or covid) caught back up to them. So there is a small bump from it. But there is nothing out of the ordinary for most of and it still seems to follow trend lines. But with any spike/dip in data, the following periods are key to see if it a trend or not, so I would be very interested to see what the 2023 data looks like even if you did the 12/9 rule. *There is a couple that don't quite follow that (80-84 & 95+) which didn't have a dip and seems to be higher ** The younger lines are too compacted to actually see what is happening to these |

I see "flat" lines in that population. Maybe some very slight bumps in 2019, but we didn't even have COVID in the community until February 2020, so it's not even that, and is "within normal" range. No obvious outliers. For transparency, I used this data from Stats NZ. I looked at "Total" (not ethnicity), and summed Male/Female and assumed that covers everyone.

Not only did lockdowns save some older people from dying. It looks like it affected some of the younger ones as well. Probably the young males that were likely to die from doing something stupid. They had less opportunities to do that |

NZ population in 2023: 5.28M So while you looked at "Total" did you account for a 21% increase in population? 240 40 year old males dying in 2023 is significantly less per million than 230 dying in 2010, despite the total increasing.

No, I didn't massage the numbers in any way, and I'm not calculating life insurance premiums or anything where I need to know someone's likelihood of dying with any confidence. I just looked at raw numbers to see if there was any significant increase of people under the age of 50 dying after 2019/2020 based on trends, and there was not. From that alone, I would hope Nich gets some relief.
My only objection to the Bloomberg article was the use of the non-obvious term "net negative excess deaths based on projection". It seems like a whole lot of assumption, so I looked at the thing everyone can understand: how many people died. If you want to take their conclusion and send someone a thank you card, then you can do that, but I was neither trying to thank or blame anyone for anything. I just wanted to know "did a lot of people die?".

OK yes I went there.
Using National Population Estimates, 2013-2023 for foregoing the 2023 numbers. Comparison with your graph to make sure we're talking about the same data. Here's Mortality Per Capita by age group (Using the age groups in the National Population Estimates) The 65+ category is pretty high so we'll split out for 0-65 category for readability. Mortality Per Capita 0-65 What do you make of those?

I don't really have any strong conclusions: we can see during lockdown less [old] people died than the previous year - but it was similar to 2015, and I'm not sure what the significance of that year was. We don't necessarily know why, although we might try to guess. We might say it was from less disease being spread, or we might say it was because they did literally nothing, which carries almost zero risk. It might be they didn't get chemo treatment, and chemo is a bitch. But we are only guessing, and the only thing I know for sure is I don't have that information and a guess is not a fact.
It also shows that more [old] people are dying now than in the last 10 years, which we also don't have the information for. The increase is still not alarming. It's ~3.55 per thousand rather than a low of ~3.3. Assuming 1M old people, that's a difference of ~250 people (I don't know what the numbers are). I don't know what these people are dying from, which probably matters. If they were all suicides, that would mean something different to if they were all boating accidents, versus all cancer, and so on. If the trend continues and old people continue to die at higher and higher rates, we might conclude life expectancy is going down, but we have to wait and see. It might be their chemo was delayed, so now they're dying from treatment. I don't know, I'm just being cynical about chemo because it's one of those things where the cure can sometimes be worse than the disease and people have to take their chances. I say it tongue in cheek, and I'm not strongly anti-chemo, it's just an example. I don't have the information. It looks like nothing [much] changed for the under 40s, which is interesting considering we went through "the most deadly pandemic of our lives". So deadly that we ended up all getting sick and still not a blip, even from those who refused. Lockdown was a very expensive exercise, so it would probably have been cheaper to give free trips to Disneyland to every family whose grandma died. Not saying that's the best option, but in reality, it would probably have cost only millions instead of billions.

Impossible to tell if boy died from Covid-19 vaccine or a virus, says coroner
Yes, it's completely impossible - no one has any idea whether the fit and healthy 13 year old boy with no known medical conditions who died suddenly from myocarditis 10 days after being vaccinated was one of those rare cases where the vaccine kills young males from myocarditis. Society is not even sure if he was even a boy despite his gonads and penis, so it stands to reason we can't reach obvious conclusions. What we do know from the article is that the Pōhutukawa star in the Matariki cluster represents death, so it's not all bad news. I think we can conclude that the coroner is lacking in gonads, despite going by he/him pronouns.
