Comparing The Incomparable
TVOne News tonight did itself a disservice by comparing Denmark favourably with NZ in relationship to the Covid response.
Denmark has six million people whilst NZ has five million and both countries are among the highest ranked in the OECD.
Demmark has just now cut the cord of restrictions that NZ holds onto.
But TVOne News failed to state that Denmark has lost almost 4000 people to Covid while NZ sits just above 50.
Only a few days ago, Denmark still recorded 18 deaths to Omicron in a single day. NZ's worse day for Omicron deaths so far is one or two.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
