So many countries have been struggling with covid infections. They shut down, they open up, a lot of people get covid, they shut back down. They're still having trouble, but at least by now a lot of people have either gotten vaccinated or have already had the infection. There are less people likely to get infected each time.
That makes me wonder about a country like New Zealand. They shut down and had zero tolerance for covid this entire time. That has been a great success for the last two years, but does it make sense as a long-term strategy? At some point in time, do they get to open back up and somehow stay covid-free? Or did they just delay the inevitable rush of infections when they finally do open up and covid finds a new fresh fertile breeding ground?
