Two weeks into the lockdown, many of us will be sick and tired of being stuck in our bubbles. But what if we had a bubble of 5 million?
Health experts say if we manage to "squash" the curve, as a widely-shared Washington Post article about New Zealand put it on Wednesday, a border quarantine will stop the coronavirus from coming back.
Falling numbers of new confirmed infections suggest the lockdown and social distancing measures are working, but the borders - still open to Kiwis - remain a weakness, operating on somewhat of an honour system.

US President Donald Trump has threatened to defund the World Health Organisation after the “China centric” body failed to support early travel bans which could have saved tens of thousands of lives.
Mr Trump called for an investigation into the body which has been widely condemned for praising China’s response to the coronavirus despite the fact the country covered up hundreds of cases in 2019. The totalitarian regime also locked up doctors who issued early warnings of the coronavirus and continues to lie about case and death figures, according to Chinese journalists.
