Where has the New Zealand COVID experiment got to in the last 5 weeks? In comparison to China, or Sweden, we’re looking pretty good. Which is why we are moving from Alert Level 4 to Level 3 for the next 2 weeks.
How will our COVID story be told long after the pandemic? Will we have saved people? Will we have ‘saved’ the economy? Noting this is not a necessary dichotomy – saving one or the other. We are now comfortable with a Level 4 lockdown but, at some point, the restrictions will have to loosen up.
