I am not an anti-vax type. I get a flu shot yearly. I know that sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. I also know that the vaccine has been tested more than this new one for C-19.
Our son in KC told the wife last Wednesday he thought he had a cold. Told her Thursday he felt like he'd hit by a truck. Friday he told her he was surely dying. It was all I could do to keep her from making the 10 hour drive to be by his bedside. Saturday his normal 6 mile run was done at a walking pace. Sunday he ran it as usual. Pretty sure he's gonna pull through.

It seems New Zealand has done an outstanding job at avoidance. But avoidance is really a delaying tactic. Without these crippling lockdowns it is just a matter of time until the virus gets a foothold. They still need an endgame. Maybe their strategy is to delay until somebody else develops a good endgame, like finally allowing use of ivermectin or something else yet to be developed.
I agree with Rooster that, epidemiologically speaking, when dealing with a highly contagious respiratory virus it makes a lot more sense to lock down after 1 case than it does once you have seeded it in multiple places.
