How Aotearoa compares with other small countries' Covid situation

[Olive]

pretty sure I heard last week that a third(?) of all tourism businesses have gone since covid started

I'm sure this is an issue worldwide, for those types of businesses.

Indeed, and also hospitality businesses.   The figures I would like to see are the percentage of businesses that failed in their first six months/12 months of operation in the years pre-Covid.     I recall it was something like 45% overall and 60% in hospitality but it would be useful to have actual percentages for comparison.
Another aspect to be factored in somehow in Aotearoa is the problems in Auckland's CBD relating to the roadworks.
