  1. How many heart attacks? Cancer deaths? Influenza? Traffic deaths? etc in the same period? The figures don't seem to warrant the crippling of society.

  2.    You're way out with your 3.4%. It's people like you who try to scare everyone shitless for no reason. This has to be lived with and all this lockdown is doing is destroying the world's economies

  5.    I'm in UK. I can't earn money doing what I was doing before lockdown. I can go for a pint but I can't sit with anyone or shake hands or even stand at the bar. I can't travel freely without quarantine. Your NZ bubble will have to be breached one day and then what? This is all to say nothing of the horrendous impact that the economy is going to suffer very soon.

  6.    Your situation is my situation: we are all faced with a planet that has a virus on it that kills a very small number of people it infects. The vast majority of people who get it don't even know or just suffer mild symptoms. Those at risk need to be kept away from it as far as is possible. That cannot be extended to locking down society and killing the economy. That's not a 'nothing at all' attitude, it's just practicality.
