We are actually a couple of days further into 'no new cases' than NZ - but Jacinda Ardern is definitely easier on the eye and with more personality than poor Howard!

How are the Faroes doing?
Oh they're busy opening up everything (except the country itself to outsiders). Hang on... Yup, knew I had a link saved. It's from the 8th of May: Last COVID-19 patient recovers: After two months the Faroe Islands are finally virus free.

Well done them! Their first case was over 2 weeks before ours, and so, in the end, they managed to get clear in a few weeks less than us.

It looks as if on the whole we followed very similar paths for numbers per head of population and so on; and other governments could learn a lot!!

They certainly could! Although they could learn something from pretty much ANYONE (except America & Brazil). *cough*
