Indeed, although I do have to refer what one country member of yours said when (I think) the lockdowns started over in NZ.
Unfortunately I don't remember the exact phrasing so I have exactly zero chance to find that comment back, but the gist is that because of NZ being by far the most remote Western nation, they got the opportunity to absorb the world's hindsight as information still travels much, much faster than the virus itself.
You also don't share your landmasses with other governments, so there are much fewer caveats surrounding the lifting of those procedures.
I know, I know, I'm pooping all over the party, but it's context that should be taken into mind as soon as we start our inevitable comparison efforts.
