This weekend I received an email from a good friend in NZ. Unlike the
U.S, NZ spent the last two months preparing for what is happening now.
For example, the schools spent a lot of time preparing teachers to be
able to teach effectively on line.

The case count in New Zealand is at least 100. The early cases were
from travelers who had been in Italy and Iran. Then the word went out
that citizens needed to come back to NZ, and some cases were among
this counter-diaspora. Then a group from a cruise ship went on a tour
through Te Papa, a national museum in Wellington and infected a
number of others on the tour. As of this weekend, they were at threat
level 2 (I don’t know precisely what that meant) and with clear
community transmission, they upped it to level 3 which means ‘You
have two days to get ready for total lockdown’. After two days,
they will go to level 4 — total lockdown. The schools are closed,
university students have been sent home and classes are canceled for
four weeks. When they resume they will be online.

How, by the way, is NZ doing with this themselves? I always think of
them as a sort of safe-haven being as relatively isolated as they are
yet with an anglophone first-world embedding.
