New Zealand

Is nothing like the UK. It's apples and oranges. It has a population of 4.8 million. Greater Manchester is 2.8 million.
1,276km square- Greater Manchester
268,000km square- New Zealand.

Let me ask you, which of those would you think is going to have more success suppressing a viral outbreak?
