Quarantine-free travel between Australia and New Zealand will open on April 19, and be managed by a 'traffic light' system.

Like New Zealand's four-tiered lockdown alert system, the traffic light system will allow different responses and restrictions depending on how many cases of COVID-19 each end of the travel door is experiencing.

There is a link between AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine and very rare blood clots in the brain but the possible causes are still unknown, a senior official for the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said in an interview published on Tuesday.

However, the EMA later said in a statement that its review of the vaccine was ongoing and it expected to announce its findings on Wednesday or Thursday. An AstraZeneca spokesman declined to comment on the matter.

A week on from its release, New Zealand experts have not yet finished analysing a World Health Organization (WHO) report into the origins of COVID-19.

The long-anticipated study into the SARS-CoV-2 virus was released last Tuesday following a mission to Wuhan, China by a team of international experts. While inconclusive about the virus' source, the report found it was "extremely unlikely" the virus originated from a laboratory.

Tony Lohmeyer was cycling home after work on State Highway 6 when he approached some roadworks.

With a 15 to 20-knot tailwind pushing him along, Lohmeyer realised he was travelling slightly faster than the cars through the restricted section on the way into Blenheim.

Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

"travelling slightly faster than the cars"  so admits he was speeding. The speed limit is not just for cars, it also includes cyclists or any vehicle on the road. Tail wind is no excuse, you have brakes on the bike use them.

"He decided to go inside the road cones," second mistake, sorry but the road cones are there for a reason, your safety and you and you decided to ignore this warning. Stupid is is stupid do.

Sorry but this is your fault no one elses...

The database appears to be the same set of Facebook-linked telephone numbers that has been circulating in hacker circles since January and whose existence was first reported by tech publication Motherboard, according to Alon Gal, co-founder of Israeli cybercrime intelligence firm Hudson Rock.
