Neither here nor there though, considering they closed their borders quickly.
I think it's pretty relevant - my point was that the economic and social cost to NZ of closing their borders is much lower than the cost to a country like the UK that isn't self sufficient in most basic goods. If you'd tried to pull up the drawbridge with strict hotel quarantine for 18 months we'd probably have starved.
