re: #21 Eclectic Cyborg

New Zealand has done a bang up job, but it’s also much easier to control covid when you’re an island nation. See also: Taiwan.

New Zealand is also a tiny country with a relatively small population. For reference, fewer people live there than live in Minnesota. Not to disparage what they’ve done; they’ve done an amazing job controlling the pandemic, and they should be applauded for that. But it’s not like we could do any of what they did here and it would work.
