@five15design Is that an app that gives you the mountain names?

@DrJMarine @Thoughtfulnz @AshBloomfield Urg. It's not a contest. Different nations took differing approaches based on their situation & priorities. NZ prioritized lives & had a border we could close. It worked pretty well for us. Our leaders had to make made tough choices with no modern precedent.

Why tear us down?

@DrJMarine @AshBloomfield @Thoughtfulnz NZ & USA person here. You don't know what you're talking about. Ours was more lockout than lockdown-we lived almost normally while watching terrible impacts in other parts of world. No nation got thru unscathed. I appreciate NZ govt prioritizing lives of citizens.

@SkinnerPm Can empathize. Was recently mugged by a bird who liked the look of my flask.
The rock obstacle was no match for this clever bird--I did not stand a chance.

@samuelmarsden @Thoughtfulnz Lol
I was an exchange student in high school and spent a year in Palmy many moons ago. Now I live in Chch.

The reaction I often get from kiwis is, "and you still came back to NZ?"
