Doesn't that just mean that NZ outsourced taking care of the expat NZ nationals that have Covid - and the cost of part of the Covid epidemic - to other countries though?

Not allowing your own citizen to return home is something that should be unthinkable really.

To your first point: yes? This seems fairly reasonable as those expats are also paying taxes to their resident countries, not NZ.
