Shows the difference between citizens doesn't it? If I read your post correctly there has been an outcry in NZ because one family has moved around. Thousands, including senior governments advisors, break lockdown here and a lot of the country argue that it's ok.
Not compared to anyone. How many lives have Vietnam saved
I guess you're trying to make a point. Hopefully you'll explain what exactly it is.
You told me it wasn’t that hard to quantify lives saved in direct response to me. I wasn’t comparing it to any
Funny that you want to argue semantics when the clear point is our country, with it's late and weak lockdown, has had so many more deaths than almost all countries with a stronger lockdown.
Not sure I understand the question, but I assume how would we quantify how many lives could be saved from locking down 8 days early in the UK?, well if it doubles every 4 days, we would have had a quarter of the deaths we see today, or some 12,000 deaths. Is that what you are asking?
It's pretty easy to do the maths, if new zealand had a similar death per million to us they would have 3,475 extra dead. Their policies have prevented that.
Why are you comparing them to U.K. policies over another countries policies
There are of course cultural/demographic/density differences. But it's pretty damned clear that our late and weakly governed policies have led to one us being one of the worst mortality rates in the world, we will almost certainly have THE worst in 3 months. Our policies haven't worked, Swedens haven't worked, Americas haven't worked. New Zealand, Japan, S Korea are in 10 times better positions than us. It's undeniable, I've yet to come across any reason that explains why our rates are so much higher than the rest of Northern Europe with similar population densities, or S Korea with higher. Our response as a government and as individual people has been shockingly poor.
Yup, it's good move and why they have for fewer deaths than us. Well done her!
You kind of get used to the exaggerations and use of emotive language after a while. In ALvez' defence it's how the tabloid press spread news and even our own government . It's learning to ignore and filter it.
