Looks like their handling of the pandemic has worked for them. I have friends in New Zealand and they tell me that there is broad support for their government.

They have done great!

I wonder what their exit strategy is? As soon as they open it could still tear through the population.

They don’t have an exit strategy … tyranny is the only strategy they have

They are the equivalent of a family living up a mountain in the uk and avoiding anyone and saying they did great. Yep, no covid….. but stuck up a hill. They have no exit plan and have shut themselves off from the world.

I wish that other countries could have pursued similar strategies. The virus infection is much more treatable now, compared with 2 years ago. They've also got high vaccination rates, which should help to keep people in better health

. Exactly, they have done great at delaying it. See what happens if they ever decide to come out from behind the sofa.

When NZ finally exits from it, it will have minimal impact on them.

They will come out of it with vaccines, antivirals and treatments all available to them to deal with the negative effects of the virus.

They’ve done a great job in containing the virus before vaccines were available, and have done so better than most countries.

Kudus to them

The responses on here!

Congratulating NZ on handling it well, when there is zero acknowledgement for the consequences and untold harm which will unravel over the next few years.

I wouldn't say their strategy is cruel or oppressive (the definition of tyranny) and dont see evidence of refugees (often seen fleeing from tyranny).

The virus infection is so much more treatable now...so much so that as soon as someone sneezes they go straight into lockdown.

If the vaccinations worked they would trust their mRNA enhanced immune system and stand & fight it, not cower behind locked doors!

NZ are honestly the gold standard in how to handle a pandemic. Go nuclear at the first hint of the virus and you have a short spell of severe restrictions before you can get back to normal.

Probably. But NZ is very different from UK and Europe. What may work for them wouldn't work for us.

Also, I do think Aussies and Kiwis are alot more compliant and trusting (in regards to their govt) than we are.

Maybe I'm reading the wrong gossip pages

"The main message is that contact tracing will be different because we will be dealing with a bigger number of cases.

On rapid antigen tests, Hipkins said they will play a much bigger part as we deal with this new variant of Covid-19.

On schools due to open, Hipkins said at the moment, schools are continuing to be told to prepare to open.

Asked if there were any new cases overnight, he said "undoubtedly" there would be.

Auckland mayor Phil Goff said the move to the red traffic light just before midnight last night did not offer that many more restrictions for people themselves."

They don't have a fucking idiot in charge, we do sadly.

Always a bad sign when you have to make up a silly name to attack somebody. Trump had a similar method of attack for his rivals.

When are they going back to normal? Have they ever specified what would trigger a return to normal?

As do most on here when talking to anyone who questions the narrative. Tin foil hatters, anti vaxxers and many more are flung about to anyone who doesn't agree with the narrative.

Great to see a leader who is prepared to lead by example in cancelling her own wedding. Unlike out lot.

New Zealand have been smart all the way through this, remote location, nation of isalnds, low population density, beautiful scenery ... close the borders and wait things out. Either through vaccination, treatments or both. First duty of a government is to protect its citizens.

Done a good job i'd say.

Look at the Covid death statistics per million

UK 2,274

New Zealand 10.58

She is bonkers. Their 'zero COVID' policy might have seemed sensible at first but now it's clear it's not possible and yet they're still continuing with it. Imagine living there, in constant fear you could be locked down again over a few cases nowhere near you. And apparently they've increased the isolation period to 24 days!

They will have problems with COVID for longer in the future because there won't be as much herd immunity.
