Our World in Data: Denmark has a massive drop off on confirmed, only 2662 cases per million! New Zealand: 4008 confirmed per million :E
But both these numbers are really meaningless, as the vast majority of those countries are fully vaxed :D
Imagine: Denmark has no Covid mitigation in place since what? Beginning of January? New Zealand has the strictest on Earth; look at where that got New Zealand today. New Zealand is competing with Hong Kong as one of the top most infected countries/places on Earth.
New Zealand is in a part of the world experience ing a massive surge in cases, comparing the two isn’t even as close as apples vs pineapples.
COVID may be of much less concern in the Western Hemisphere but make no mistake, there are still 40,000 to 50,000 people a week dying of it in other areas of the world.
This is precisely the problem, and the reason we still have testing protocols at borders, in this day and age a person can cross the globe in hours. Potentially bringing something deadly back with them, probably without their even knowing it.
