Only time will tell if that was ever worth it.
It's debatable how many would have died if you compare to other countries such as sweeten that did zero lockdowns.
This government had blown half a billion dollars on RAT tests that are being thrown out.
Bloody ridiculous, they are still burning through a billion dollars a week right now. Who pays? Your children, grand children and great grand children, that's who!
NZ (population 5M) 4,600 COVID deaths = 941 per million.
Sweden (population 10.4M) 24,536 COVID deaths = 2,401 per million.
NZ wins
Regarding the RAT tests (I still have a couple of boxes supplied free from my GP). So what value do you put on each life saved by the RAT tests that were utilised?
