Our family in [fairly rural] NZ had a near undisturbed life through COVID, other than a lack of foreign visitors. We were jealous.
And NZ’s death rate was about 6 times lower than the UK’s.
Do you know why your friends think it was handled so badly? Lots of variables, obviously, but statistically it looks like it was amongst the most successful developed countries in the world at limiting deaths.

My friends in NZ wouldn’t say the same about her that’s for sure.
Her handling of covid was an utter disaster and she’s jumped now because it looks like labour are gonna lose the next election.
It’s bonkers how abroad she’s seen as been fantastic.
