The video literally said "enforcement hasn't been easy, tens of thousands of people ignoring the lockdown". I think it's mostly up to an exemplary work by the government
@@dondod1959 don't believe everything the media tells you, i live in Auckland New Zealand and people are listening and staying indoors, its only a few that are dumb enough to try go out to the beaches or on "holiday" for Easter
You are glad to be wasting rent money for online education, and when lockdown ends and we all catch the virus and have an economic mess from endless paper money. Everyone here suffers a short term thinking limitation
The prime ministers of New Zealand has dealt with a mass shooting, the White Island volcano eruption and now a pandemic. She has done so well during these times
Im 17 and I’m working at a supermarket in New Zealand and I’m working full time throughout the virus and it feels good to know I live in a country where the government cares about the people over the money
All the workers at my supermarket are helpful and smiling and most of them look under 20. I'm very impressed with these young New Zealanders. They're amazing.
You’re so right, labour only (pretend to) care about the people. Couple of problems there, money matters, it REALLY matters and they truly have no idea how it works. They think they should control it and everything else like Hitler, Stalin and other radical left wing leaders in the past did. Look how that went. And if you think I’m wrong about money - are you working at the supermarket for free? Yeah I thought not. All the best to you
@@hubristicmystic dropped ya tinfoil hat mate. Money does matter, but only because of its impact in people's lives. It is a means to eat, be housed and so on. Controlling money has a mixed history and not all of it has been as bad as you seem to be suggesting. Keynesian economics, which was what neoliberalism replaced, was the system in place in NZ during the period known as the Golden Weather, where we had under employment and one of the highest standards of living in the world. Stalin, was a psychopath and the picture in the USSR was a complicated one. Let's just say that their issues were far greater than anything to do with their currency. Hitler, also a psychopath, changed the Reich Mark to the Deutch Mark. A magic trick that ended the rampant inflation present in Germany pre 1936. Hitler's economy boomed, he was very friendly with business and used slave labour. Quite the modern capitalist really. Chrysler, Ford, Disney, etc, were all in bed with the Nazi's. Stalin was not so lucky. These examples show a complicated geopolitical situation far greater than just money. 🤓👍
Nar yeah I just saw now on the news @ being human, we have just got our first case in our town... There's always hope though. Hope your safe where you are.☺️ I reckon it will be extended too.
She is doing great things. I give her personal credit for that , it's not her gender. Reminds me of Kevin Rudd over in Australia who was criticized for flying to America before the 08 financial crisis to consult with financial leaders and find a way to stave off the potential Crisis from Australia. It's a shame America has such a dearth of leadership at this crucial time.
@@etherspin Kevin 07 became Kevin 747, he would fly anywhere at the drop of a hat in fact he spent so much time overseas the public forgot what he looked like.
My family and I have been in government quarantine in New Zealandd for 14 days after returning home from Australia for the first time in 10 years. We have been cleared of COVID-19 and are allowed to leave tomorrow. The medical staff, cleaners, security staff etc are absolutely amazing and should be applauded. The NZ Police Force even delivered a bag of toys and books for my 7 year old son. They are all extremely professional and treating everyone with compassion and kindness. Taking after Jacinda Adern's model. I really hope that these people are recognised once all of this is over.
I like the fact that we as a country have already taken this so seriously, and then other countries including America looking at what New Zealand is doing: We should’ve done that in the first place.
Especially considering a) we aren't an island, we've got two main islands (plural) and b) they're the 4th and 5th biggest islands in the pasific! We're one of the bigger countries in the pasific!
Kiwi here, work at a hotel by Auckland Airport. The first few days was utter chaos professionally for me and it felt like our world was turning upside down. The cases kept rising and there was alot of stress. But then the information kept piling through, daily broadcasts, stats, goals etc and we all kinda just got on with it. Also read that a poll lately shows 88% + agree with the action taken by her. Its gonna be tough getting out of it, but we have confidence that we wont lose too many. Besides that, we can only hope it ends soon for the hardest hit countries. Kia Kaha folks 👌
Being a Kiwi, and having family in the UK and friends over seas in countries such as China and Australia. I feel that New Zealand is and has been doing the best job of containing this virus.
I also am a Kiwi who has family in both Aus and China. Its tough that we're not all together and is scary. but im so happy at how well our country has done :)
and economy and money will come back faster too, because New Zealand is the fastest country in the world to allow people to get back to the normal life .
@@mapper7310 really I'm shocked. New Zealand not a heavy international travel hub. No early cases. A remote island. Makes it a lot easier to isolate existing cases when it hasn't already spiraled out of control
Thomas Holtby I guess it adds we have a pretty close proximity to china and a lot of our tourists are chinese/asian, I guess we’re just lucky we don’t have a land border though...
Dont listen to this galaxy brain above, most likely a high school dropout. Sadly we have plenty of these morons here just like anywhere else. NZ property investors are the cause of the housing crisis but its easier for
New Zealand is successful because it has a coronovirus strategy. (1) NZ's director-general of health (Ashley Bloomfield) gives the advice, (2) the prime minister and the ruling party listen to his advice, establish a plan and carry it out, (3) the political opposition are not taking advantage of the situation and (4) the majority of the Kiwis are cooperating. Totally different compared to the US.
Nothing to do with being one of the last countries for COVIT 19 to arrive in. This Government had plenty of warning it was slow to react we should have had Zero community spread. We just dodged a bullet even under Level 4 lockdown the overseas tourist was still driving around New Zealand in their campervans
@JC Bourbon It will be very hard for anyone to cross New Zealand border until there is a vaccine. Both New Zealand and Australia are simular and are in talks about forming a Trans Tasman bubble
@@drumtin1717 Economies bounce back, humans cannot if they die. Some people value human life more. Allowing massive loss of life is hardly great for the economy anyway.
I think the reasons behind NewZealand success in covid19 outbreak are 1.Great leadership 2. Politicians and scientists of NewZealand worked in unison. 3. The people of NewZeland who stood by their leader and followed the lockdown rules.
we also had some inate advantages . Our first case was relatively late so we were able to witness the potential destruction it could cause . We're an island and one of the most isolated landmasses in the world which gives us easy control of our borders. But yes you're right, Tourism is our second largest industry behind agriculture so it took strong decisive leadership to do what the government has done. But if we can erradicate it and open our economy again it could be a great success story.
@Samuel Davidson *Some sharia law* - 20 "If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death."
Deuteronomy 22:20-21 "When a woman has a discharge, if her discharge in her body is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening. Everything also on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean." (Leviticus 15: 19-20) *"I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet."(1 Trimothy 2:12) "Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished." (Isaiah 13:15-16) "Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass." (I Samuel 15:2-3) 5 As I listened, he said to the others, “Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion. 6 Slaughter the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the old men who were in front of the temple.(Ezekiel 9:5-6) "When men fight with one another, and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts, then you shall cut off her hand."(Deuteronomy 25:11-12) "The women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church."(1 Corinthians 14:34) For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled. And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire. (Ezekiel 23:46-47) I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women r@ped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. (Zechariah 14:2)
So, what you're saying, in a nutshell is that NZ employed logic and common sense. How they've handled their outbreak is absolutely impressive and commendable. They should be proud of doing what they did in order to safeguard the lives of their citizens.
I would say I trust her on most thing's as prime minister jacinda Ardern at less cares for people within our country unlike those national ass hats at only care about is money. Have to say this lady has a bigger pair than most men these day's.
We hit 100 cases an closed everything down. It still climbed to 1000+. The sooner you respond the better, it might be late for many but it’s never to late. Problem with other leaders around the world is they are controlled by money. We in NZ are lucky we have her as a leader in these times, as money never comes before lives.
@White CIS Cum you're the reason the US has 14000 dead people...dumb fuck! Maybe its because we have a Government for and by the people not for and by corporations like the US shithole where wealthy corporations control all aspects of American life. BTW Koch Bro's Cato Institute ranks NZ as the Freest country in the world LOL
@White CIS Cum says Imagine having cowards who value safety over liberty. REPLY: We actually have more liberty in NZ than you do in the USA. We actually have a Government controlled by the people and not corporations and corrupt politicians.
As a New Zealander (who did not vote for her) I am very impressed at how she has managed this country in times of crisis. Her best attribute is that she knows what she does not know, and listens to experts. Our health system, and it's managers are doing a stellar job. Our country has universal healthcare, which is coping very well with this potential emergency. We have less than 20 people hospitalized with Covid 19 out of a population of 4.8 million, and none of these people will have a massive bill to pay when they leave hospital. We are in for some tough times as we rebuild our economy after these extensive measures, but if we can tackle that how we have tackled this, then it's a battle we are ready to fight as well.
We must also thank the opposition for standing beside the government, without their actions we could possibly have had some division, which would have led to some type of backlash towards the measures put in place.
Way to go New Zealand!!! You and your PM are #1! Congrats and greetings from northwestern Washington state, USA, on the Pacific coast. Wishing I was on the NZ Pacific coast! 👏 Go Kiwis!!!
@@tonyrata4796 & Levi Te Amo - Your spectacular country's North & South Islands have a lot in common with where I live. I'm in the Cascade mountains which is called the American Alps. I live in an area that has millions of square miles of true untouched wilderness, that's temperate rainforest. There's an active volcano and dozens of glaciers about 35km from here. We have bears, cougars, eagles, miniature squirrels (gerbil sized), coyotes, Bobcats, Elk. Traveling 1.5 hours west of here takes one to the Pacific ocean. I think it's a combination of your North & South Islands. In this state, Washington (not the US capital DC) we're mostly liberals, environmental activists & Mother Nature's protectors and activists. One BIG difference between us though is that you have Jacinda Ardern I: a brilliant, erudite, compassionate PM. We, however, have a completely IQ-challenged monster occupying our Whitehouse. I'm so happy for you and for all of New Zealand, that this pandemic is being handled so competently!! Please stay well and stay strong! 🙏 Namaste
@@dancingwithnature5303 Hi! We are both indeed blessed by nature , we have much to be grateful for. Yes , we have Jacinda Adern , but she isn't the only reason we've had some success. I believe the crucial ingredient is that partisanship has , for the most part been completely put aside and as we say down here , we are all steering the waka (ship) in the same direction . We can pat ourselves on the back but that would be terribly premature . The fight can't be won in just a few parts of the world . What would we do when we become "covid free "" ? Keep our borders closed ,stop anyone from coming here because they could rekindle it all over again ? I think not . The answer is this is one big war and you don't win a war with one small victory . So , in a slightly selfish way , this is why what happens to you matters so much. If this exists anywhere it exists everywhere. I wish you and all people a safe passage through this ,Kia Kaha as we say , have strength . If I had once piece of advise to you ,even though I have no right to give advise , so we'll call this an opinion , it's this . Do the things your President won't tell you to do. If it were me I would be more inclined to listen to someone like Governor Cuomo of New York . To me , he makes good sense . But that's just my opinion . Another reason I worry . at a personal level , I have relatives in Texas and really need to feel they are safe . This is a little long winded but I feel there is a need to include all in the battle . To be melodramatic : we all win or we all lose , no middle ground. Namaste Baba Stay Safe!
I live in the South Kaipara peninsula north of Parakai New Zealand. It is Paradise, but as in most places you have to deal with idiots,self entitled nobody's. Who think because they have been local for all their little miserable lives.can ride roughshod over you,just because they think they can. As an Alpha Male this ain't going to happen. I don't know what it's like in the States,or what Native Americans behave,when other people are involved. That may have different societal values.
My partner is acting charge nurse whilst two other charges are in quarantine with covid. The DHB are now having to collect all masks from the wards and ration them out. They're going to be wiped down after every use to reuse them, aa trump has just made 3M unable to export N95 masks manufactured in the US.
Everyone knows how they did it. They elected a leader who is actually leading and not corrupted. She is not greedy and believes in science. She is educated and not a religious zealot. THATS HOW THEY DID IT.
Also we are also very spiritual and family oriented. For us Family. Is. Real. Mana. As humans we are all family that is why as a Country we stand F.I.R.M❤
Thank you all for your wonderful replies. I really expected to be deluged with a Trump trolls. Maybe they are all too sick to troll because they followed Trumps advice and now have the virus. Whatever it is I have not heard a peep from them. New Zealand sounds great. Maybe when the pandemic is over I will consider moving there. I’m an actor. They have a good film industry there don’t they? If Trump is re-elected and it looks like he will be, I am looking for another place to live. He and his followers are making life very difficult here for people like me. I am liberal and a promoter of liberal thinking. (Basically thinking that is based on reality and science and higher education.) New Zealand goes on my list of choices. Oops, the trolls will be after me now for saying that...
Jeffrey English we do have great opportunities, we have a healthy film industry. We are a very liberal country that simply could not abide a trump, but, being liberal there are just not enough people dumb enough in NZ for trump to be a realistic possibility. Everyone in NZ knows he is a fraud and only able to get away with his very poor con job because so many Americans have been denied access to education.
She’s awesome, but the people are even more awesome! Jacinda leads, we follow. People took the lockdown seriously. Although there are some out there who are directly disobeying, but that’s less than 1% of the population.
@@jcsacNZ you're an absolute moron.im in northland and no one takes this pandemic seriously. The woman who died had other health complications. Jacinda sold us out.
@@johnlennon2070 hiya, I think your statement may be a bit of a slippery slope if it's phrased in such general terms. Sure, no one (generalising a bit as well) minds if someone like jacinda does it because we've been shown how heartfelt she leads the country. For exactly the long time it takes to get on top of this. But then go to Hungary, where Orban just made himself a dictator with no end (basically) and I wouldn't trust that guy as far as I could throw him (not at all). So, yeah, I'd be careful about promoting taking away freedoms. Just IMHO.
@@Dusolo In your comments, you continue to blame everyone except the leader of the country. What is happening in the US in no ones fault except Donald J Trumps? Worst president EVER!!!!
@Toni Alexander well , everything is Trump's fault, because he doesn't know how to do politically sweet talk . look at the New York Governor Andrew Cuomo keeps telling the numbers of death , he has no plan , no one say anything about him ! In America, most people are robotically following law and order , they don't use their common sense to protect themselves ! I feel sorry to those police officers, nurses, doctors, and firefighters got tested positive , and some of them were dead..
Nah im good, still completely useless for actually doing good things for citizens in terms of economy. Still though living costs and still to may coming in to the country.Too emotional.
You guys did nothing special to "beat" the virus. You got lucky, you live in an island nation with a low population and density. Thank your natural geography more than your beloved prime minister.
@@peterbelanger4094 True. My country is the same density (5m) and the only cases are handful of citizens returning from big countries (60m+). The spread is 0 to none and it couldn't be more because we simply don't have enough population...its not even an island... I rather have triple Corona infection than being arrested by cops for getting some fresh air

Marlena Forbes-Reidy stay safe love 💖 it must be lovely to have a wonderful leader like Jacinda Ardern. I wish she was our PM. I’m thinking of moving to Kiwi land. Greetings from Melbourne 💖
Thank you CNN for that report - we are incredibly lucky and grateful to have a PM who believes in compassion, wisdom and balance and is not owned by corporates or cronies. She took a VERY courageous step by locking us down and closing the borders for the for the foreseeable future - tourism IS one of our main earners as a nation and the global economic damage from this virus is going to hit us hard as a small nation. But we have leadership that consults scientists and experts and not their own bank balance and that of their financial backers. BTW we aren't "a small pacific island" - we've got lots of islands, and in fact our landmass is bigger than some European nations - and there are 5 million of us - and despite a few dickheads, on the whole we are committed to making this work for the GREATER GOOD, not the individual's wants and desires.
She looks at the big picture and precisely because NZ's economy depends heavily on tourism, it has to deal with this strongly and conclusively. That sector will rebound. Trying to stay open would create a dragged out uncertainty.
I am so surprised that the economic policies the government have implemented have not been addressed. UBI for companies and workers who can't operate due to the lockdown. They increased the national stockpile for tests and ventilators a week before the lockdown. The best part, media is an essential service in NZ!!! That is how much media freedom and accountability is valued!! Check some of the press conferences of the PM and contrast that to Trump or Biden. Sweet as NZ!!
Of course, PM Jacinda Ardern would do this. She genuinely cares for her people as much as for her only child, which she gave birth to almost two years ago. Admirable and true clarity of thought during these difficult times.
This is how they did it: 1. Took it seriously from the beginning 2. Put their citizens first and not greed This is how the U.S. did it: 1. None of thee above and repeat
That's a ridiculous statement. We have almost 50 seperate states the size of "New Zealand". It's he size of Colorado! You have to take into consideration that we have 50 PM or governors that are stupid. And a president that governs all. Plus a population of 330 million.
Page Jenkins hard to do in a nation of over 300 million people totally totally different situation ! Idont want to sound cruel we have to work, if you want food and pay your bills, money just doesn’t appear in your wallet. If we don’t work we have 0!
This is working because for the most part we 1) are willing to sacrifice personal freedoms for the greater good and 2) dont believe that this is some grand plan by the government to assert dominance and control our lives.
exactly. it's only as successful as the people who buy in to it. we're willing to put up with four weeks without work (for me, my job is still operating), in order to get back up and running as soon as possible. sadly, today we had our second death, but because of our discipline it's only our second.
I couldn't imagine the government being able to quickly organise a conspiracy amongst all this, or that everyone in government's Mum wouldn't give them a strong word and no tea if they started trying. We all know eachother, no one would get away with it. We are the first to protest for fairness.
@Damon Mudgway I like to think that the whole country came together and understands the importance to protect eachother. Everyone I know was fully prepared to go into self-isolation, some already did, but having the whole country agree and support eachother is wonderful. Arden just got us organised: He Waka eke noa. We are all in this together heading towards the same goal.
You obviously don't live here. If you did you'd know her health minister broke lockdown rules twice. You obviously don't know about Winston Peters and Phil Twyford either. You'd shouldn't spray shit you know absolutely nothing about.
@@Swiftspell Give her time to weed them out, she's still in her first term. Those who have been found wanting will have to convince the public to vote for them again. Hoping that she will inspire some great people to want to join politics who would otherwise be unwilling to enter the lion's den.
I'm kiwi. I didn't vote for the Prime Minister, but almost everyone here agrees that she's done a fantastic job. And the ones that don't like here are the ones who think COVID-19 was caused by 5G
@@hamishgaffaney5323 on top of that she had the balls to move when the WHO was wrong. the WHO was not telling people to restrict air travel or close borders which was mind-blowing. but we are still behind the times with masks though - but that might change.

NZ had the luxury of being the furtherest away from point zero allowing time to witness and employ correct plans too lockdown. Any PM at the time in NZ may well have made same decision to lockdown. Just saying...
I disagree. She is a 'feels' rather than 'facts' leader. A lovely person, but really not that smart. We will be in the same position when the lockdown ends, as we were when it started. Hardly any herd immunity. We've had, at most, 4 people in ICU nationally, so the curve hasn't gotten anywhere near medical capacity. Less isn't better. We've overplayed things massively, and pointlessly.

Nancy Pelosi was encouraging people to visit China town openly on msm as she and others were walking around it. Democrats are what US problem is. Interestingly the same day she and her party members delivered the articles of impeachment to the senate was the same day that the first case of corona virus landed in the US from China. Coincidence of course, yeah right. They had been sitting on the articles for two weeks.
@@billporter846 yeah I saw that interview with Pelosi telling everyone it's safe to go out and to "come and join us" in Chinatown in late feb, bloody hilarious how she's now claiming Trump failed to recognise how deadly the virus would be. Now she's complaining "while trump fiddles his thumbs, people are dying" lol what a joke, I don't know how people fall for these idiots. I'm not even a fan of Trump but I reckon he is doing a decent job considering that back in January he formed his taskforce, activated the CDC it's assets and banned travel to China. Meanwhile I noticed the dems were too busy calling him "racist" and "xenophobe" for banning travel to China and pushing for a fruitless impeachment and complaining his taskforce was "too white" instead of doing anything useful...

@ did u know wuhan first case was in November and lied and hid info statistics and resources at the most important timing they choose to let 5 million in and out of their county for the lunar new year and that is what fucked everything up so bad. They also lied that you could only get the disease eating from the wet market and people couldn't spread it to each other I'm confused how is it u think china acted fast?
I didn't vote for her and don't agree with some of her policies, however she has proved herself capable of leading a nation in hard times of trouble and I thank her for that. As for giving up our freedom, come on that has to be one of the most stupidest comments I've seen. There is no freedom for anyone if you die from the virus as many of your fellow country people have.
@I_360_No_scoped_JFK Agreed. The only reason she did this earlier was because of pressure from the nation. She should've shut down international airport arrivals much earlier in my opinion. She's not a leader at all, she doesn't make her own decisions, instead just gets pressured into them.
The reporter clearly doesn't know his geography. "This small Pacific island..." - anyone who's ever looked at a map of NZ knows it's primarly TWO large islands.

Sooty Remana we are very lucky- I think also lucky with our geographic isolation. We have been behind other countries so had the benefit of hindsight from their experience. But of course hindsight means nothing without a leader able to put her people first, make hard decisions and take advice from experts
get lost, you can’t possibly be serious? yes we’re a small country but it goes to show that what our country has done is amazing and that it can be done, yet the orange man that runs ur country hasn’t done shit but be racist? we care about saving lives and so does our leader? what does ur leader care about? (money)
She was a terrible leader untill this and used the first week of lockdown to do some sneaky controversial bill passing under the radar. Big props to her for this choice but dont let it shadow the 20 bad ones she has made!
@@spink8488 She is a great leader. Theres no sneaky shit going on, the bills being passed are being done thru correct channels aligning with NZ govt constitution.... unless of course you can link us to where she is being 'sneaky'. If you're in NZ, you're alive because of her. Stop your whining, whinging, bitching and crying bullshit, ffs.
I have a daughter and grandchildren in NZ. Their leader is a fierce, no nonsense woman who acted aggressively to save her country. She put people over the economy. Good for her. She lives in a modest house and drives herself everywhere in a little family car. She really loves her country and it’s ppl.
Jacinda Ardern during her 3 year term as Prime Minister has had to deal with a terrorist attack (Christchurch, March 15th), A natural disaster (White Island), and now a global pandemic! She also had her first child! She is the most amazing Prime Minister!
👍🤣 While the leader of the opposition party has had to keep flying between Tauranga and Wellington during lockdown because his computer "only works 50%"..🤣
She took 7 weeks to close the borders, so no not amazing. Now because of total lockdown businesses going bust and unemployment rising....bloody amazing in ineptitude is more like it.
When our PM said we go into lockdown then that’s it, we go into lockdown. People here are amazing. Yes we are a small country and small population but people are respectful. I wish everyone in the US the very best and I hope you guys prevail and my condolences and sympathies to everyone that has lost loved ones. Stay strong
I'm a Kiwi living in the US,but that will never go down here and that is the problem. Even now as the CDC,various state leaders and President is urging people to stay at home for 2 weeks, stupid people are having parties and gathering in the streets.
When you examine what NZ has done, it comes down to one simple thing, COMMON SENSE. Based on scientific facts not politics, applied on a nationwide basis and belief. COMMON SENSE. I watch with sadness and dismay what many other countries are putting their people thru.
Nz was late to get covid so they can see what hasnt worked.If the had of been one of the early country's to get it they would be in just as bad a shape as the rest of the world.
@@imchop Factually wrong. NZ went hard and went early. The Govt believed in scientific evidence and adviced the nation accordingly whilst watching the Wuhan lock down containment.It implemented very strict regulations and the people understood why. It will be a very long time before its borders will be open to countries without such foresight.
@@enzeda They had no checks at the airports and let the virus in in till the lock down .They could of closed off the boarders earlier and not screwed the economy as they have .Things would of kept going minus tourism.
@@imchop Your russian roulette theory of dodging a covid 19 bullet is capitalism at all costs and unacceptable in a sane world. Your ally Trump would love you though but has little respect for life before money,
@@enzeda No there is no Russian roulette theory. closed off the boarders earlier and not screwed the economy .:They kept letting it in intill they had to close boarders
NZer here. We know it's going to be hard, a lot of us are on reduced incomes and others have lost their jobs or seen their businesses go bust - but pretty much everyone is in agreement that saving lives is worth the financial hit. You can rebuild economies but you cant bring back the dead. We are thinking of you in the US and other countries with a lot of sorrow and empathy and we hope this passes for you soon.
My wife already lost her job, mine is uncertain. But I always say, as long as we’re alive and healthy, we can always find work. I read that there are 2 pandemics in the states: Covid and Stupidity. They say they can find cure for the first one but not the second one (not my words, just happen to read it).
@Fairlight Williams As a human being, who just happens to be American, I say Thank You. We need all the good vibes we can get before we turn into a third world country, or part of Russia. Scary either way.
That's funny! Comparing the U.S. to New Zealand is a joke! Colorado is New Zealand and the U.S. is Russia. If America was the size of Colorado then yeah we could've done it. But America makes up 50 seperate countries with different laws governed under one nation under law. Try again.
The country has huge social issues like a high suicide rate, domestic violence, alcohol abuse and homelessness. Shutting down the economy will have long term repercussions on society. Most of the country has been prevented from working and welfare money is being handed out freely. The burden will be on taxpayers such as workers and small business that will see their livelihoods crushed. I'm hoping this does not lead to a suffering unseen in the country since it's creation. I'm not looking forward to the pain and death caused by the tough times ahead. I'm not looking forward to a country in servitude due to a click bate Prime Minister.
@@dannyboy536 Yes, the hardship in NZ is and will be very real but what do you propose as an alternative? Even if isolation is not government mandated, people in countries where the virus is rampaging are still isolating but in terror, businesses are crumbling, health systems are overwhelmed, people are dying in their thousands, and no end in sight. Is this better??
@@rosemary2907 Thousands? Only in countries with huge populations. We are a sparsely populated country. Throughout the world it is the densely populated countries that are suffering the most. New Zealand is unique but also comparable to Australia. In Australia the graph of cases is plateauing with Urban centres in NSW Qld & Vic being hit the worst. Australians have not been prevented from working. Their hospitals are not overwhelmed at all. Australians have a different economy but it is fragile like ours. I know my community will be hit particularly hard and bad policy will cause long term suffering that could be avoided.
I know we are small and in the pacific but saying we are a “small pacific island” makes it sound like we are Fiji or Samoa, we are the same size as Japan we just have 4.5 million people lol
jackeysmith19 that was my first thought 😂 I mean I live in the Waikato but nz is certainly not just a little remote island in the middle of the pacific, not surprised from Americans
I’m so proud and grateful that I live in NZ. Whoop whoop Jacinda thank you for putting lives ahead of the almighty $$. Let’s do this NZ and support our Govt and it’s efforts to eradicate this pandemic from our beautiful country
I live in NZ and am so proud of our leader, especially when one sees what other countries are dealing with. We WILL beat this nasty virus, we WILL stay safe, we are NZ.
We will never beat this virus. Its another virus that will forever live among us. All we can do is delay it until we have medicines that can allow those with compromised immune systems to survive it.
Still upsets me when she speaks there's someone filming a tic toc video next to her. I'm watching this video from my Bach with all all my neighbours who moved in last night and I'm glad to see everyone staying safe.
Jj O,leary yeah I’m a born here kiwi so I know. Always thought of New Zealand as a pacific island. If it isn’t a pacific island then what is it. I’m always saying Maori are Pacific Islanders, spose I’m in trouble now?
I’m proud to live in New Zealand and thankful for our leader who doesn’t mess around! This lockdown is tough, very strict, but I’m good with that as it’s clearly working. Our one death is due to a lady being misdiagnosed as having just a flu. Other than that, no more deaths. NZ is a great country in terms of working together as a nation.
I couldn't agree with you more!! Im so glad we live in a country where the peoples lives are put ahead of the mighty dollar. Its been an interesting couple of weeks, to say the least. I can't wait to go get some McDonald's and go sit in public soon lol but so proud we can call me our PM.
I love this country too and I'm grateful to live here. Shutting down the economy so harshly could cause hardships far worse than the virus. I hope it is not the case but a recession or depression could lead to more deaths than the virus. Our suicide rates were already at a higher level than ever recorded. How many workers will have no jobs to return to? How many businesses will be closed? How many families will be broken? How long will we be in servitude to the newly accrued debt?
Easy peasy Let's show them the way Through our hearts A true heart will set us free Free of all evil things The truth shall set us free Easy peasy Whoop whoop Yea ha Yea buddy Hell yea Tear it up Feed the seed And it shall grow Into the most beautiful thing on this planet Joy to the world Let the party begin
To CNN Viewers - on behalf of so many Kiwi's - thank you for your lovely, positive comments about our Prime Minister. Although it is not over, we will come through it. Kotahi Matou (We Are One)
I can tell you in the city I live in everyone has locked down. The only time I ever see people when I go to work or when coming home are people going for a walk or run. My sisters live in Wellington and they said it's like a ghost town there too but they feel safe. Aunt Cindy's response to the pandemic has been amazing. When she held the press conference telling everyone that we were moving from Level 3 to Level 4 of the lock down, I was in the office with two of my colleagues watching on Facebook. There's normally people coming in and out of the office but most just didn't show up for work that day or were told to stay home. My main concern was whether people would be disciplined enough to stay put. I work for local government so am classed as an essential worker, helping respond to the thousands of welfare requests from all over the country. We currently have teams that deliver tech to our remote workers and once they've done that, they can't come back to the building because their bubble is too big so they have to stay home for the rest of the lock down. I really feel for people in other countries, especially the U.S. Trump has been irresponsible in terms of the pandemic and all those poor people dying alone, it's really heart-breaking watching it on TV. There are people here in NZ who feel Jacinda's response was too slow and think she's useless but they are saying this within the safety of their own home, COVID free, healthy and hopefully happy. She has done an incredible job and that's all I can say about that.
Bexy your doing a great job to, to many people Complaining that they are waiting to long to have their calls answered. Everyone needs to stop and remember that they wouldn’t want there needs dismissed and brushed aside so that the call waiting times are reduced, and you cannot train up the numbers of additional staff needed for such unprecedented numbers of calls in 48 hours during a lockdown - be patient NZers, and treat the people on the phones with respect, they care, they want to do their best for you, but, it takes time, so your wait will be worth it in the end!
Frank A no not at all they however did not have the benefit of hindsight such as the US did, however, albeit late, they are now trying, unlike your beloved moron.
@Jeri Brown This IS how the US responded and it was based on information coming from China and WHO at the end of December when they were saying the virus was being contained in Wuhan and China. As soon as it was clear from their information that it was spreading beyond Wuhan and China the US government shut down flights from China, then shortly after European countries. The rest of what you wrote is how the US did handle the crisis. Don't believe everything you see criticizing the government here, remember it's an election year and the media has its favorites.
What a LOAD of BS - This government lockdown murdered 200x more people (due to suicides), ruined aconomu and hundreds of thousands families than the communist virus 19. NZ ha 4mil people - ultra low density of population and ... if you test for antibodies most of NZ already had the virus in Jan and Feb. Jacinda doesn't give a crap about people and she couldn't even run a fish and chip shop. That's why she ended up joining the global socialistic youth movement. She is a commie and all she cares is about PR and image
@@fanoflegophil3468 You posted here "NZ is a shit hole" but then on another comment you tell people "Don't come here" to NZ. Seems like your bit off today. Hope your ok.
Speaking as a Kiwi, I think the thing that's really helped us is that we have faith in our government and our institutions. It's not blind faith, and we do hold our governments accountable for their failures, but there is generally a mindset that the government can help solve our problems. So when the government concluded that we need to lockdown, that's what we've done, most of us know that we need to work together to solve this.
Agreed, we have strong morale and a real sense of fairness. The Government is not perfect but this crisis has been handled decisively with good leadership.
Agree. Very proud that they not only acted decisively, but also react to criticisms by experts, opposition leaders and the public and also they are off their own initiative doing things like getting homeless people into motels when most people wouldn’t have noticed or given scared about those people. That’s going above and beyond to me
Ardern receives blind faith and as a Freemason with very dubious history in the UK covering up sex crimes by the British Police. But Kiwis don't seem to know this or are unmoved by it.
The governor of Hawai’i (David ige) said its impossible to shutdown flights to Hawaii, he also said its a waste of time to ask for it, he needs to watch this and follow the steps this smart woman did
Tevyn Monismith Money doesn't rule me and I'm fine. I thoroughly understand how Trump and greedy people think. They're heartless. Look at the treatment of those military on that carrier. They were gonna be wiped out if the CO didn't do what he did. lt would just be great to appreciate life of those affected. I know death and destruction doesn't matter to idiots who believe in winning, success, and power at any cost. Look at the primary yesterday. That should have been postponed. That belief is why we're in this mess.
People have police knocking on their door in New Zealand asking people their political leanings we have a Government talking about requiring a tracking app to go out in public...Are you going to be grateful when your freedom has gone?...You my darling are nothing more than a sheep
I’m a New Zealander and I am thankful for what the Government did and so quickly. We’ve only had 4 deaths due to the Coronavirus. If Jacinda hadn’t done what she did, it would have been so much worse. ❤️🇳🇿
As a reference to NZ being a small nation yes it only has a population of nearly 5M people but in terms of land size it's approximately the same size as the UK and Japan.
4WD Lux Life... I see where you’re going with it, but perhaps our Maori brothers can advise if it’s accurate. I thought a taniwha was more of a monster?
@Crimson One thing that people with your mindset seem always to conveniently forget , and it's very obvious.... were all immigrants here , mate. I'm a Maori Aotearoan ,but even my ancestors were immigrants . The only difference between them and us is the date they arrived . Most immigrants , then and now , only want to do the best they can for their families . And in my experience they work bloody hard to do so . We also have a younger demographic because most immigrants are young families . They add more than they take and I for one will appreciate that when I retire and need govt or health support , they will be the taxpayers footing the bill . Stay safe .
Ahh i wouldn't believe this. It' not that great here. Citizens can't even afford a house and many can barely afford to live. To many people are allowed to flood in, the minorities instead of majorities are catered too. Pretty bad leader really putting other before citizens.
@ E Hold That’s the one mate, blame all our worries on immigrants. Did you notice how the housing crisis was around BEFORE this government took power.... yet they are often sited as to blame...... by people who think national can fix it.......even though they had their shot and either couldn’t or didn’t
She made it affordable for BENEFICIARIES to live! She puts us KIWIS 1st, she's by far my best prime minister I've known & most appreciate. Thanks Jacinda!
She has not made it affordable for beneficiaries to live, what fucking reality are you in. Yeah if your unemployed and have rent you have $15 left for food for a week how the fuck is that affordable you are a fucking idiot, also at a time when so many are dying and she sneaks the abortion law through to kill innocent lives yeah great fucking leader not.

It's not just their leader but also the New Zealand people for cooperation.
Yea thanks for that but its easy to cooperate with someone who is worth following.

Im 17 and I’m working at a supermarket in New Zealand and I’m working full time throughout the virus and it feels good to know I live in a country where the government cares about the people over the money
your a legend bro.
All the workers at my supermarket are helpful and smiling and most of them look under 20. I'm very impressed with these young New Zealanders. They're amazing.
Keep up the good work Marcus. We appreciate your hard work buddy
You’re so right, labour only (pretend to) care about the people. Couple of problems there, money matters, it REALLY matters and they truly have no idea how it works. They think they should control it and everything else like Hitler, Stalin and other radical left wing leaders in the past did. Look how that went. And if you think I’m wrong about money - are you working at the supermarket for free? Yeah I thought not. All the best to you
@@hubristicmystic dropped ya tinfoil hat mate. Money does matter, but only because of its impact in people's lives. It is a means to eat, be housed and so on. Controlling money has a mixed history and not all of it has been as bad as you seem to be suggesting. Keynesian economics, which was what neoliberalism replaced, was the system in place in NZ during the period known as the Golden Weather, where we had under employment and one of the highest standards of living in the world.
Stalin, was a psychopath and the picture in the USSR was a complicated one. Let's just say that their issues were far greater than anything to do with their currency.
Hitler, also a psychopath, changed the Reich Mark to the Deutch Mark. A magic trick that ended the rampant inflation present in Germany pre 1936. Hitler's economy boomed, he was very friendly with business and used slave labour. Quite the modern capitalist really. Chrysler, Ford, Disney, etc, were all in bed with the Nazi's. Stalin was not so lucky.
These examples show a complicated geopolitical situation far greater than just money. 🤓👍
When the prime minister said “Economy will go down but will come back. People will go down but will not come back” 👍🏼
Trump said the same thing
That's why we had one death to all the thousands that's happened around the world and we are in week 3 of isolation

Kiwi here, work at a hotel by Auckland Airport. The first few days was utter chaos professionally for me and it felt like our world was turning upside down. The cases kept rising and there was alot of stress.

New Zealand is successful because it has a coronovirus strategy. (1) NZ's director-general of health (Ashley Bloomfield) gives the advice, (2) the prime minister and the ruling party listen to his advice, establish a plan and carry it out, (3) the political opposition are not taking advantage of the situation and (4) the majority of the Kiwis are cooperating. Totally different compared to the US.

Nothing to do with being one of the last countries for COVIT 19 to arrive in. This Government had plenty of warning it was slow to react we should have had Zero community spread.

I think the reasons behind NewZealand success in covid19 outbreak are
1.Great leadership
2. Politicians and scientists of NewZealand worked in unison.
3. The people of NewZeland who stood by their leader and followed the lockdown rules.
we also had some inate advantages . Our first case was relatively late so we were able to witness the potential destruction it could cause . We're an island and one of the most isolated landmasses in the world which gives us easy control of our borders.
But yes you're right, Tourism is our second largest industry behind agriculture so it took strong decisive leadership to do what the government has done. But if we can erradicate it and open our economy again it could be a great success story.

I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women r@ped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. (Zechariah 14:2)
So, what you're saying, in a nutshell is that NZ employed logic and common sense.
How they've handled their outbreak is absolutely impressive and commendable. They should be proud of doing what they did in order to safeguard the lives of their citizens.
@Samuel Davidson you are a bigoted moron.
This has been possible because kiwi's trust the government and the leadership.
I wouldn't go that far

Jacinda is far left liberal globalist.
She wasnt afraid to pull the trigger early, even her detractors respected her for that.

REPLY: We actually have more liberty in NZ than you do in the USA. We actually have a Government controlled by the people and not corporations and corrupt politicians.
As a New Zealander (who did not vote for her) I am very impressed at how she has managed this country in times of crisis. Her best attribute is that she knows what she does not know, and listens to experts. Our health system, and it's managers are doing a stellar job. Our country has universal healthcare, which is coping very well with this potential emergency. We have less than 20 people hospitalized with Covid 19 out of a population of 4.8 million, and none of these people will have a massive bill to pay when they leave hospital.
We are in for some tough times as we rebuild our economy after these extensive measures, but if we can tackle that how we have tackled this, then it's a battle we are ready to fight as well.
Bobo smith I didn’t vote for her either but so glad she is our PM right now.
We must also thank the opposition for standing beside the government, without their actions we could possibly have had some division, which would have led to some type of backlash towards the measures put in place.

And the North Island too!!
@@tonyrata4796 & Levi Te Amo - Your spectacular country's North & South Islands have a lot in common with where I live. I'm in the Cascade mountains which is called the American Alps. I live in an area that has millions of square miles of true untouched wilderness, that's temperate rainforest. There's an active volcano and dozens of glaciers about 35km from here. We have bears, cougars, eagles, miniature squirrels (gerbil sized), coyotes, Bobcats, Elk. Traveling 1.5 hours west of here takes one to the Pacific ocean. I think it's a combination of your North & South Islands. In this state, Washington (not the US capital DC) we're mostly liberals, environmental activists & Mother Nature's protectors and activists.
One BIG difference between us though is that you have Jacinda Ardern I: a brilliant, erudite, compassionate PM. We, however, have a completely IQ-challenged monster occupying our Whitehouse.
I'm so happy for you and for all of New Zealand, that this pandemic is being handled so competently!! Please stay well and stay strong! 🙏 Namaste
@@dancingwithnature5303 Hi! We are both indeed blessed by nature , we have much to be grateful for.
Yes , we have Jacinda Adern , but she isn't the only reason we've had some success.
I believe the crucial ingredient is that partisanship has , for the most part been completely put aside and as we say down here , we are all steering the waka (ship) in the same direction .
We can pat ourselves on the back but that would be terribly premature . The fight can't be won in just a few parts of the world .
What would we do when we become "covid free "" ? Keep our borders closed ,stop anyone from coming here because they could rekindle it all over again ?
I think not . The answer is this is one big war and you don't win a war with one small victory .
So , in a slightly selfish way , this is why what happens to you matters so much.
If this exists anywhere it exists everywhere.
I wish you and all people a safe passage through this ,Kia Kaha as we say , have strength .
If I had once piece of advise to you ,even though I have no right to give advise , so we'll call this an opinion , it's this .
Do the things your President won't tell you to do. If it were me I would be more inclined to listen to someone like Governor Cuomo of New York . To me , he makes good sense . But that's just my opinion .
Another reason I worry . at a personal level , I have relatives in Texas and really need to feel they are safe .
This is a little long winded but I feel there is a need to include all in the battle .
To be melodramatic : we all win or we all lose , no middle ground.
Namaste Baba

Everyone knows how they did it. They elected a leader who is actually leading and not corrupted. She is not greedy and believes in science. She is educated and not a religious zealot. THATS HOW THEY DID IT.
In a nutshell, you got it👍
Also we are also very spiritual and family oriented. For us Family. Is. Real. Mana. As humans we are all family that is why as a Country we stand F.I.R.M❤
We're very lucky that we have almost zero corruption in our country (NZ) unlike others where large corporations dictate the political agenda.
Thank you all for your wonderful replies. I really expected to be deluged with a Trump trolls. Maybe they are all too sick to troll because they followed Trumps advice and now have the virus. Whatever it is I have not heard a peep from them. New Zealand sounds great. Maybe when the pandemic is over I will consider moving there. I’m an actor. They have a good film industry there don’t they? If Trump is re-elected and it looks like he will be, I am looking for another place to live. He and his followers are making life very difficult here for people like me. I am liberal and a promoter of liberal thinking. (Basically thinking that is based on reality and science and higher education.) New Zealand goes on my list of choices. Oops, the trolls will be after me now for saying that...
Jeffrey English we do have great opportunities, we have a healthy film industry. We are a very liberal country that simply could not abide a trump, but, being liberal there are just not enough people dumb enough in NZ for trump to be a realistic possibility. Everyone in NZ knows he is a fraud and only able to get away with his very poor con job because so many Americans have been denied access to education.
Kia ora, from US but living in New Zealand since 2013. VERY glad to be here during pandemic crisis and not back in US!
"Small Pacific Island" lol. I don't think I've ever heard NZ called that before. We'd call Fiji a small Pacific Island.

@@jcsacNZ you're an absolute moron.im in northland and no one takes this pandemic seriously. The woman who died had other health complications. Jacinda sold us out.
@@johnlennon2070 hiya, I think your statement may be a bit of a slippery slope if it's phrased in such general terms. Sure, no one (generalising a bit as well) minds if someone like jacinda does it because we've been shown how heartfelt she leads the country. For exactly the long time it takes to get on top of this. But then go to Hungary, where Orban just made himself a dictator with no end (basically) and I wouldn't trust that guy as far as I could throw him (not at all). So, yeah, I'd be careful about promoting taking away freedoms. Just IMHO.
Unlike the US, this leader has both a brain and a heart. NZ has every reason to be proud of their Prime Minister.

Thank you CNN for that report - we are incredibly lucky and grateful to have a PM who believes in compassion, wisdom and balance and is not owned by corporates or cronies. She took a VERY courageous step by locking us down and closing the borders for the for the foreseeable future - tourism IS one of our main earners as a nation and the global economic damage from this virus is going to hit us hard as a small nation. But we have leadership that consults scientists and experts and not their own bank balance and that of their financial backers.
BTW we aren't "a small pacific island" - we've got lots of islands, and in fact our landmass is bigger than some European nations - and there are 5 million of us - and despite a few dickheads, on the whole we are committed to making this work for the GREATER GOOD, not the individual's wants and desires.
Islands are much easier to control what comes in.
@@elcajondavid1 Unless they are Japan whale fishing boats, bloody bastards! Cruel!
@@elcajondavid1 not in the era of air travel. The virus didn't enter the US via Canada or Mexico.
She looks at the big picture and precisely because NZ's economy depends heavily on tourism, it has to deal with this strongly and conclusively. That sector will rebound. Trying to stay open would create a dragged out uncertainty.
I am so surprised that the economic policies the government have implemented have not been addressed. UBI for companies and workers who can't operate due to the lockdown. They increased the national stockpile for tests and ventilators a week before the lockdown. The best part, media is an essential service in NZ!!! That is how much media freedom and accountability is valued!! Check some of the press conferences of the PM and contrast that to Trump or Biden. Sweet as NZ!!
Of course, PM Jacinda Ardern would do this. She genuinely cares for her people as much as for her only child, which she gave birth to almost two years ago. Admirable and true clarity of thought during these difficult times.

Ben L nailed it. And this is why the USA could never do it. Individual freedom is at the top of their value system,
exactly. it's only as successful as the people who buy in to it. we're willing to put up with four weeks without work (for me, my job is still operating), in order to get back up and running as soon as possible. sadly, today we had our second death, but because of our discipline it's only our second.
I couldn't imagine the government being able to quickly organise a conspiracy amongst all this, or that everyone in government's Mum wouldn't give them a strong word and no tea if they started trying. We all know eachother, no one would get away with it. We are the first to protest for fairness.
@Damon Mudgway I like to think that the whole country came together and understands the importance to protect eachother.

*Countries doing well in the pandemic:*
• New Zealand
• Taiwan
• South Korea
• Australia
• Iceland
• Germany
What do they all have in common despite varying levels of restrictions and lockdowns (in SK and Taiwan's case very little or no lockdown)?
*• Testing, testing, testing*
*• Quarantine & monitoring the infected*
*• Social distancing*
*• Banning/restricting international flights*
Contact tracing is the key
Also Armenia
In Australia we also closed State borders, 14 day quarantine for those returning from overseas and moving from one State to another. Essential travel only. Law enforced with $1300 penalties. We have just relaxed our restrictions. We can now do non essential shopping, and travel within 50 kms radious of our home.
Germany allowed planes from Iran and China after Denmark closed the border.
I heard Vietnam has 0 deaths, with only a few infections. They closed their borders as early as January.

I have a daughter and grandchildren in NZ. Their leader is a fierce, no nonsense woman who acted aggressively to save her country. She put people over the economy. Good for her. She lives in a modest house and drives herself everywhere in a little family car. She really loves her country and it’s ppl.
I'm so jealous. In my country, we haven't had good leadership in years.

When you examine what NZ has done, it comes down to one simple thing, COMMON SENSE. Based on scientific facts not politics, applied on a nationwide basis and belief. COMMON SENSE. I watch with sadness and dismay what many other countries are putting their people thru.
Nz was late to get covid so they can see what hasnt worked.If the had of been one of the early country's to get it they would be in just as bad a shape as the rest of the world.
@@imchop Factually wrong. NZ went hard and went early.

NZer here. We know it's going to be hard, a lot of us are on reduced incomes and others have lost their jobs or seen their businesses go bust - but pretty much everyone is in agreement that saving lives is worth the financial hit. You can rebuild economies but you cant bring back the dead.
We are thinking of you in the US and other countries with a lot of sorrow and empathy and we hope this passes for you soon.

This is what effective leadership looks like. God bless her
Anyone who declares the Easter Bunny as essential is great.
The country has huge social issues like a high suicide rate, domestic violence, alcohol abuse and homelessness. Shutting down the economy will have long term repercussions on society. Most of the country has been prevented from working and welfare money is being handed out freely. The burden will be on taxpayers such as workers and small business that will see their livelihoods crushed. I'm hoping this does not lead to a suffering unseen in the country since it's creation. I'm not looking forward to the pain and death caused by the tough times ahead. I'm not looking forward to a country in servitude due to a click bate Prime Minister.
Deniboj - pfft your so full of it. Thanks to her response we will come out of this economically healthier than most.
@@dannyboy536 Yes, the hardship in NZ is and will be very real but what do you propose as an alternative? Even if isolation is not government mandated, people in countries where the virus is rampaging are still isolating but in terror, businesses are crumbling, health systems are overwhelmed, people are dying in their thousands, and no end in sight. Is this better??
@@rosemary2907 Thousands? Only in countries with huge populations. We are a sparsely populated country. Throughout the world it is the densely populated countries that are suffering the most. New Zealand is unique but also comparable to Australia. In Australia the graph of cases is plateauing with Urban centres in NSW Qld & Vic being hit the worst. Australians have not been prevented from working. Their hospitals are not overwhelmed at all. Australians have a different economy but it is fragile like ours. I know my community will be hit particularly hard and bad policy will cause long term suffering that could be avoided.

jackeysmith19 that was my first thought 😂 I mean I live in the Waikato but nz is certainly not just a little remote island in the middle of the pacific, not surprised from Americans
We’re larger than the UK but no one calls them a “small European island”
The whole "small country" thing irks me, since when you objectively compare NZ to other countries, we're average in both physical size and population.
Yes the land down under no one cares finally surfaces on news.
Also there are two main islands, the South Island being the 12th largest island in the world lol

I’m proud to live in New Zealand and thankful for our leader who doesn’t mess around! This lockdown is tough, very strict, but I’m good with that as it’s clearly working. Our one death is due to a lady being misdiagnosed as having just a flu. Other than that, no more deaths.
NZ is a great country in terms of working together as a nation.
I couldn't agree with you more!! Im so glad we live in a country where the peoples lives are put ahead of the mighty dollar. Its been an interesting couple of weeks, to say the least. I can't wait to go get some McDonald's and go sit in public soon lol but so proud we can call me our PM.
You guys aren't even in Flu season yet...aka you guys aren't even in a Coronavirus prime season yet.
I love this country too and I'm grateful to live here. Shutting down the economy so harshly could cause hardships far worse than the virus. I hope it is not the case but a recession or depression could lead to more deaths than the virus. Our suicide rates were already at a higher level than ever recorded. How many workers will have no jobs to return to? How many businesses will be closed? How many families will be broken? How long will we be in servitude to the newly accrued debt?

Yeah well said Joanne it was really cool , It's neat to se3 how others see us
I can tell you in the city I live in everyone has locked down. The only time I ever see people when I go to work or when coming home are people going for a walk or run. My sisters live in Wellington and they said it's like a ghost town there too but they feel safe. Aunt Cindy's response to the pandemic has been amazing. When she held the press conference telling everyone that we were moving from Level 3 to Level 4 of the lock down, I was in the office with two of my colleagues watching on Facebook. There's normally people coming in and out of the office but most just didn't show up for work that day or were told to stay home. My main concern was whether people would be disciplined enough to stay put. I work for local government so am classed as an essential worker, helping respond to the thousands of welfare requests from all over the country. We currently have teams that deliver tech to our remote workers and once they've done that, they can't come back to the building because their bubble is too big so they have to stay home for the rest of the lock down. I really feel for people in other countries, especially the U.S. Trump has been irresponsible in terms of the pandemic and all those poor people dying alone, it's really heart-breaking watching it on TV. There are people here in NZ who feel Jacinda's response was too slow and think she's useless but they are saying this within the safety of their own home, COVID free, healthy and hopefully happy. She has done an incredible job and that's all I can say about that.
Bexy your doing a great job to, to many people
Complaining that they are waiting to long to have their calls answered. Everyone needs to stop and remember that they wouldn’t want there needs dismissed and brushed aside so that the call waiting times are reduced, and you cannot train up the numbers of additional staff needed for such unprecedented numbers of calls in 48 hours during a lockdown - be patient NZers, and treat the people on the phones with respect, they care, they want to do their best for you, but, it takes time, so your wait will be worth it in the end!
Hmm...so you feel sorry, "especially for the US" ......so I guess the leaders of Italy and Spain...got it right?
Frank A no not at all they however did not have the benefit of hindsight such as the US did, however, albeit late, they are now trying, unlike your beloved moron.
The rest of the lockdown might be 18 to 24 months.
Is that sustainable?
@Jeri Brown This IS how the US responded and it was based on information coming from China and WHO at the end of December when they were saying the virus was being contained in Wuhan and China. As soon as it was clear from their information that it was spreading beyond Wuhan and China the US government shut down flights from China, then shortly after European countries. The rest of what you wrote is how the US did handle the crisis. Don't believe everything you see criticizing the government here, remember it's an election year and the media has its favorites.
When you care about people and not money the country will prosper and become even more united. go jacinda

Speaking as a Kiwi, I think the thing that's really helped us is that we have faith in our government and our institutions. It's not blind faith, and we do hold our governments accountable for their failures, but there is generally a mindset that the government can help solve our problems. So when the government concluded that we need to lockdown, that's what we've done, most of us know that we need to work together to solve this.
Agreed, we have strong morale and a real sense of fairness. The Government is not perfect but this crisis has been handled decisively with good leadership.
Agree. Very proud that they not only acted decisively, but also react to criticisms by experts, opposition leaders and the public and also they are off their own initiative doing things like getting homeless people into motels when most people wouldn’t have noticed or given scared about those people. That’s going above and beyond to me

@Crimson One thing that people with your mindset seem always to conveniently forget , and it's very obvious.... were all immigrants here , mate.

The only difference between them and us is the date they arrived .
Most immigrants , then and now , only want to do the best they can for their families . And in my experience they work bloody hard to do so .
We also have a younger demographic because most immigrants are young families . They add more than they take and I for one will appreciate that when I retire and need govt or health support , they will be the taxpayers footing the bill .
