Short term results only. We don't know yet about long term results (for the economy, for global poverty, for people mental healths, for extra deaths of cancer, for obesity people getting spending time at home, and so on).
It’s hard to argue that our response is going to cause more deaths than the US response. It almost feels like cheating to compare NZ to USA where covid is concerned.
This is the story from the UK, something like this might happen everywhere: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8848991/Dead-31-che...
NZ hospitals have been fine.
So every organisation from kindergartens to factories was affected by coronavirus, but hospitals were not affected at all? I don't believe so.
