Putting NZ's covid-19 outbreak data in perspective :
Per 100,000 :
Deaths
Taiwan 0.03
Hong Kong 0.05
Australia 0.39
New Zealand 0.43
Japan 0.45
South Korea 0.50
Infected:
Taiwan 1.8
Hong Kong 13.9
Australia 27.2
New Zealand 30.5
Japan 12.3
South Korea 21.1
And we know that Taiwan, Hong Kong and Australia have not had to close down the economies to the extent that NZ has, to achieve BETTER results than NZ.
And it has nothing to do with whether it's National or Labour who is in power - it's about doing better than we have done.
What can we learn from them and do even better than we have.
Lets' raise our sight higher, shall we - rather than be forever comparing ourselves with the worse rather than the best.
I assume you have something to back up that statement !! The PM is very good at grabbing international headlines by making statements such as her and the Cabinet taking a huge pay cut. 3 weeks later she has not done anything about it, for which there is no excuse. Just another failed promise.
Anyone see Kelvin Davis with Paul Henry on TV3 tonight fumbling away ?
Apparently he couldn't even put a number on the Kiwi Tourism / Hospitality jobs that he said he was going to save
or when this was going to occur .. ;)
Poor Kelvin never seems to disappoint with the dubious unique ability to freeze, get foot stuck in mouth or come up a major disconnect when challenged by some of the sharper more awake media interviewers applying heat on him .. ;)
