As expected. New Zealand must chose between national self-isolation with recurring local lockdowns until there is an effective/safe vaccine six months to never from now, or protecting high-risk elderly while younger low-risk people build herd immunity. https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/04/29/delaying-herd-immunity-is-costing-lives/ …https://twitter.com/aginnt/status/1293554834272948225 …

Who would envy the position the NZ govt are in. The virus is much less lethal than feared, herd immunity can be achieved rapidly (but not without cost) and the isolation policy may require a cycle of periodic hard lockdowns. Initial strategy must seem less clear cut

Turns out when Boris and co. said about the UK; "some herd immunity is desireable" - they might actually have been on to something....despite the public's utter hysteria and screams of "MURDERERS!!!"pic.twitter.com/8uUuooKQ8F

they understand it just fine. Certain parties benefit from isolation and local lockdowns until a vaccine, and they're in charge or they have the ear of people in charge
