  • I don't want to belittle your friends experiences, but those measures stopped a lot of people from dying. The govt decisions were supported by legit public health officials and backed by proper research.
    They provided a lot of money to private businesses to support them, and overall comparatively NZ businesses did much better than most places globally.
    Also the whole 'tiny island' thing is kind of grating to me as a new Zealander. It's 10% bigger in land size than the UK.

  • The proper research thing is now showing that a lot of that was nonsense and that’s not just down there that’s here too. You have about 5 million people on the island and the uk has about 60 ish million so it’s not comparable.

    Edit : 67 million folk in the UK in 2021.

    Low population density overall but 89% living in cities, compared to the UK's 84%. Its quite similar.
