> Aside from international travel

Could you tell us how you feel about your fellow countrymen and women who work in travel and who's lives have been completely upended (sometimes permanently) by the affects of the lockdowns?




Or those such as myself who were forcibly separated from our partners overseas for 5 months? I had to fly to Dubai to reunite with my partner just so I could bring her back to NZ with me. I'm lucky to be able to do so; remote job, no kids, have savings. We have a Facebook group with 1,400 members in the same position who were and are suffering for months from the extreme border closure, many are married and have children.


No one is claiming it's a good situation. But given the alternative was 000's of deaths, that is just the unfortunate reality.

There's no good answer here, only a least bad alternative.
