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. https://www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/cases/four-members-of-the-armed-forces-v-chief-of-defence-force ChayceW (talk) 11:48, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

The charts showing cases and deaths (with German language axes) are incorrect. There was not a sustained flatline of either metric in NZ. ~2026-18856-95 (talk) 18:58, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
