However, if healthcare workers die after contracting Covid19 at work (according to balance of probabilities if there is doubt), compensation should be due as per other industrial injuries. One for the lawyers and courts I expect, if the state doesn't increase the amount.
And give the size of hat bailouts to other areas of the economy, 60k is a small sum.

UK is £60K I think, if you die on the NHS frontline...

It did... indirectly.
Originally posted by d000hg View PostThe question was, how is NZ protecting businesses and jobs? The more severe the CV measures, the more expensive they likely are one way or the other.
And the massive benefit of having a healthy population is that they can go back to work.
The poor financial traders just see a couple of months lost income - it's almost like they had their tables turned over outside the temple. The good samaritans see lives saved.
Your call, I guess.

You're conflating two entirely unrelated topics. The question was, how is NZ protecting businesses and jobs? The more severe the CV measures, the more expensive they likely are one way or the other.

Or are you saying that it's more like Dom devolved his leadership to someone who really understands - Boris. Who in turn, when things got difficult, hid in a fridge.

BTW friends over there saw their PM in much the same light as most here saw Boris last year. Their opinion has changed drastically since CV appeared.

That's how it's done Boris!
No new cases and 19 dead in total.
I'm sure we are comparing like for like

How about NZ and Wales?
NZ population: ~4.9 million
Wales population: ~3.1 million
NZ deaths (until 23/3): 18
Wales deaths (until 25/3): 774
I suspect the difference is that that New Zealand has the advantage of not having a load of infectious English people living next door to it! Also doesn’t have Boris Johnson as it’s political leader
