If anyone would care to offer their opinion how a virus
unchecked at the very least for 2 months, which has caused a pandemic
doesn't show up in New Zealand until the end of March
and only causes 20 deaths and less than 1500 positive cases
because non essential businesses were closed, schools were closed
strict travel bans/ restrictions were put in place and social gatherings were banned
No new cases...China said the same thing
But this is what I found most interesting in the article.....
The response has also been one that placed science, leadership, and careful language at the forefront.
Siouxsie Wiles, associate professor and head of the Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab
at the University of Auckland,
said one of the country's key successes has been
the way in which COVID-19 was framed to the general population.
“In other countries, people have been talking about war and battle,
which puts people in a negative and fearful frame of mind”, she said.
“The official response here has been guided by the principle
that you do not stigmatise and that we unite against COVID-19.”
Baker agreed that language was a crucial part of the response.
Yep, it's all about the narrative
