You mean she didn't defeat the virus by telling people to inject disinfectant, telling scientists to use a flu vaccine, tweeting and retweeting conspiracy theories, making up a fake political scandal about Obama, and accusing a TV host of murder?Probably didn't hurt that 92% of the country supported strict lockdown measures and weren't out storming state building with assault rifles and tactical cosplay costumes crying about freedom.
Jacinda Arden most popular New Zealand PM in a century as approval rating surges
Almost 92 per cent support strict lockdown, poll finds
Some Countries Have Brought New Cases Down To Nearly Zero. How Did They Do It?
It's a diverse mix of places — New Zealand, Vietnam, Germany, Costa Rica. We look at the keys to their success in controlling the coronavirus.
This is what leadership looks like...
She took to the national airwaves to explain a four-stage lockdown system that New Zealand would use to confront the health crisis. "I'm speaking to all New Zealanders today to give you as much certainty and clarity as we can as we fight COVID-19," she said in a nationally televised address on March 21.
Ardern called the threat "unprecedented," but she was calm and reassuring. "Here's how we'll know what to do and when," she said as she laid out plans to shut down schools, most businesses and domestic travel.
Wiles at the University of Auckland says that the prime minister did something quite interesting: "Which was that unlike many other countries, she never put us on a war footing."
So Ardern's speeches weren't about attacking an invisible enemy — as many world leaders would say.
Instead she called on New Zealanders to confront this crisis by protecting their fellow citizens.
"She talked over and over about us being a team of 5 million and that we all do our part to break these chains of transmission and to eliminate the virus," Wiles says. "I think that has been one of the really crucial things — everybody knowing how they had to behave and that they were behaving for the good of everybody."
Wiles heard the prime minister's calls for everyone to come together so many times that she refers to it as Ardern doing her "united thing."
New Zealand is now reopening most businesses and is even talking about complete elimination of the coronavirus from its territory.
As of late May, New Zealand had had roughly 1,500 cases and fewer than 2 dozen deaths from COVID-19.
I left my heart in New Zealand. That place is the greatest on earth.
and to top it off, their politicians seem to work for the benefit of the citizensI left my heart in New Zealand. That place is the greatest on earth.
ain't Raglan Great?I left my heart in New Zealand. That place is the greatest on earth.
Ragland was awesome but I was all about South Island, especially the southern tip. Loves the options and so much to explore overall.
