Amazing you just assume it's inevitable.
New Zealand certainly proves it's not.
Aim higher.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoAustralia tried aiming higher, and now Melbourne is facing 6 more weeks of hard lockdown with record highs. Maybe there were policy choices that could have allowed them and every other country to replicate New Zealand's current situation, but you're going to need more than a pithy comment to demonstrate that.
- thehappypm 6y agoI don't think it's really feasible to compare a continental nation of 300M+ people to a small island nation.
- nkohari 6y agoNew Zealand is a small island nation with only 5 international airports. It has 1.4% the population of the United States (4.8M vs 328.2M), and a smaller population than New York City (8.4M). It has 18 people per km², compared to 94 people per km² in the United States. This is an absurd comparison.
