New Zealand have 5 deaths per million
Australia have have 33
UK have 615
USA have 620

I really don't even know what you are arguing? 

UK and US have done terribly health wise and have had no economic benefit for it either. It's really a reflection of the two poor leaders in charge who have a history of lying and propaganda over any leadership substance.

You are hung up on mortality rates.  Anyone getting it could prove fatal depending on underlying conditions.  Americans are an unhealthy lot.  We eat processed garbage, are lazy and overweight.  Choices have consequences.

Now the point I am attempting to make is you can’t stop it.  Governments can lockdown to their hearts content and as soon as they open back up it will be waiting.  If an island nation the size of New Zealand cannot eliminate it what gives you hope that any other nation can eliminate it?  The common cold and influenza have been around since time began and there is no cure for either except our individual immune systems.
