That's right, in the long run we can compare the number of deaths here with those of other countries.

And when I say 'compare', I mean on a like for like basis. When Spain and Italy provide their figures on the number of deaths, it appears they are not including deaths in care homes and in the community. So, no wonder our figures look bad in comparison.

Social distancing in NZ is quite easy between farms! Their relatively low population levels make controls on the virus a lot easier than over here.
