New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who has been widely praised for steering one of the world’s most successful responses to Covid-19, on Monday revealed that she had put President-elect Joe Biden in contact with the nation’s health officials in efforts to share tactics on how to battle the devastating pandemic that has killed more than 256,000 Americans.

Ardern said at a press conference on Monday: “I offered to him and his team access to New Zealand health officials in order to share their experience on things we’ve learnt on our Covid-19 journey,” Reuters reported.

The offer came in the midst of the two leaders’ first meeting since Biden won the U.S. election, and as Biden’s efforts to tackle the pandemic are being hampered at home by the Trump Administration’s refusal to begin the transition.

New Zealand, which has successfully battled community transmission of Covid-19 among its population of nearly 5 million people, has recorded just 2,030 infections and 25 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University data.

1. Let's see you let it rage across your country for almost a year?

Nope. We got nothing for you. Better hope that vaccine is effective.

2. I will be so happy to end all that "America First" bullshit...

and work together with other countries to solve problems instead of monetizing and exploiting them for Trump's personal gain.

3. The only country which did better than them in my opinion would be Taiwan

who had a way harder job (more densely populated, closer to China) but only very slightly worse results. Having experts from both of those places would be a good thing.
