Let that crazy jacindaardern lock her country for next few years, every time there is an outbreak. Irrespective of number of infections, Covid is serious, but it’s not going away. We will have more waves, culminating with it being an endemic. She should inoculate her people.

Vaccines are working quite well

Who cares about the country which chose to live under leftist dictator instead of democracy and freedom.
For those who don't know (and there's alot of you). New Zealand's total population is less than the GTHA's total population. So yes it's small when compared to us, but for them it's a big deal. The last time they saw the same amount of cases was October 21st of last year
