New Zealand went into total lockdown on March 26th for four weeks and closed our borders. We have gradually lifted the restrictions since the end of April and by next week everything should be back to normal (except the borders will remain tightly monitored).
We have not had a case of Covid 19 in the last 13 days after reaching a peak of 89 per day in early April.
22 people have died supposedly from Covid 19 in New Zealand. Compare that to Sweden (which has twice our population). They had no lockdown and have had 4,468 supposedly Covid deaths.
Lockdown works if you do it right.
The 'lockdown' here wasn't for stopping the spread of COVID, just to slow the spread.
So it will kill the same amount of people but be spread over a longer period of time.
So we were told.....
