China took same approach, also how they shut their port last week. It's willingness, good leadership, social cohesion, and trust in science - UK/US seem to lack all four. Size, population and remoteness are irrelevant.

Selfish, cherry picking article. Masks protect everyone else from my droplets is how masks should be seen. Also "Another CDC-highlighted study, by Rader et al., invited people across the country to answer a survey. The low (11 percent)

We do have some jackasses, fortunately they aren't in power, but they are actively sowing division and racism -National Party. If they'd been in we'd look like UK, Belgium, Louisiana as I'm sure they would have weaponis

It's this sort of destruction of Earth that means all people should declare war on Tesla. Wish they'd stick to their knitting, advertising to ground from orbit, arrg, it's obscene, vile.

Yes, we have the same kind of idiots here NZ, they go by "Plan B". All economists with a sprinkling of racists, if we'd gone their way we'd look like Louisiana or England.
