One case = strict 3 day lockdown for the entire country

Yep, it's nice to live where serious threats are treated seriously - none of us want Delta getting a foothold. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/449376/covid-19-communit... our level 4 is very strict, no mucking about.
Then stop infection and get it back to 0 so you can have half a year without cases & do whatever you want. The previous case was in February.

It's kind of silly to look at it out of context. Look at those Kiwis they locked down over 1 case... Because theres been 6 months without any cases so its easier to lock down and stop the spread of that 1.

Staying home for a few days as a public health measure sure seems a lot nicer than staying home because if you don't you might die in an overwhelmed hospital while gasping for air.
