New Zealand is to begin a three-day lockdown after a single case is reported.

18. It is different, New Zealand has fewer religious people.

America has more ignorance. Yeah, New Zealand had protesters too. They have religious people also. The filthy rich are always funding and supporting the crazies. It keeps them in power.

But New Zealand has less ignorance. Less of the crazies that think they can pray or wish the pandemic away.

And just because something hasn't been done doesn't mean it could never be done. A large country has all the same resources as a small country has... probably more. The US has a lot more money they could throw at the lockdown...which the never really tried.

And to have a successful lockdown you don't need 100 percent compliance. I don't believe New Zealand, China or Vietnam had 100 compliance. Even totalitarian countries like Russia could never get 100 percent compliance, even if they wanted to reduce deaths due to COVID-19.

There is very little evidence that size matters.
