The real death toll

[Lilith7]

Looking at other countries & how they've dealt with Covid  is enough to make us all appreciate our good luck to be living here.

there are many who cannot/will not acknowledge this, blinded by their hatred of 'the left'
credit where its due, they (Labour) did ok with covid
which is reassuring because theyve bungled or shelved everything else theyve touched in two terms of fiscal ineptitude and broken promises.

I think they could have done better with regard to Kiwis needing to come home, especially those with dying family members; getting those people home & the MIQ conditions could have been better.
But that said, its a completely new situation for all govts around the world & its not very likely that no mistakes would have been made, regardless of which lot was in govt.
