#nzhellhole looks pretty competent to me. Does it not to you? The UK dreams about having a day as good as their biggest disaster. They were very, very conservative in their approach.

I’m very glad NZ is COVID free but they got lucky by not having much community spread before the first lockdown and closing the border, and they are lucky by geography in this case.
What the UK has gone through is unique to the UK and it is hard to easily compare it to other countries. It's bad, don't get wrong, and I wish that travel lockdowns would have happened sooner, but let's not ignore a huge amount of relevant data so you can have a dig.
