Taiwan, South Korea and New Zealand have all had effective responses to the pandemic that haven't required lockdowns. It's just that the West doesnt believe in survival masks and didn't make them, and can't figure out how to find and isolate cases.
- djsumdog 7y agoI know personally that's not true about NZ. My ex is immune compromised and they have "Levels" there (L0, L1, etc.) and she most likely won't be able to leave her place for another two months. Another kiwi I worked with sent me a video of walking through an empty Wellington. It's a small nation, 4 million people, plus ACC (health care) and solid unemployment for all, so it's much easier for them to cope. It's also easier for them to close the country, as it is a set of islands. The friend who did that walk said it was still Orwellian though.
