A leader who prioritizes the lives of her people and helps them.

...must be nice

[MrDouglasSawyer]

When y'all are done with this lady I think we need her over here in the States. Maybe she could be our Zoom president?

[emanuelleitch]

Yep you know your country did a good job if there's one death in 3 months unlike one death every few minutes in some countries.

At least New Zealand has a much better grip on the viral pandemic than my homeland of Lower Trumpistan. ☹️

Jacinda Ardern is a great PM. This is how it has to be done. All the best to the Kiwis from Germany!

[Hatypus]

What's the betting Trump says New Zealand is having a terrible resurgence after a single death, while America has over a thousand a day

[TiNzZiiEe]

Now this is i call a great leader. Humanity comes first

[stoodmuffinpersonal]

Bet you ten bucks they quarantine good and don't have intense spikes cause their government has at least the dignity and sense to consider the problem as a real threat, and have a lower death/infected count proportionate to their population. Cause they did ANYTHING. They will actually do SOMETHING.

New Zealand is looking more and more appealing to move to

[joshuagarner]

Now that's a leader who knows how to take precaution. I hope everything is stable down there.

[sammybond]

omg i’m from nz and i haven’t even heard about this yet i-

[reallylate]

Don't you mean two deaths. A man in his 50's and a man in his 80's both died in same week.

[jasoncarmichael]

Very sad news, but a tremendous effort by all kiwis

[fearlessarchangel]

Lesson: Make sure you live on an island when an outbreak occurs

[Larrieee]

Yeah..I really wish we had a leader with a brain

[huntersw]

And we here in the usa are going for her immunity i think

[jamiesiple]

probably she going to keep the restriction more time because she is like every leader with this issue they do the same thing until there is no ending date to this issue so you can vote for her when there is an election it does not matter public health will tell the new person to do.
