I thought we could all at least agree that it was handled terribly here. Clearly no one has any idea what would have happened if we had approached it differently but looking at the death rate it seems the NZ approach was successful in saving lives.
In the UK we sacrificed lives 'in case of' all sorts of reasons, most of which we were unable to qualify in time to make informed decisions. Although a lot of people got their nose in the trough.
