New Zealand Budget Ditches Climate Change, Prioritizes the Economy

  3. New Zealand and Whuflu, the raw data:

    1,149 cases

    1,433 recovered

    21 deaths

    4,822,233 total pop.

    38 – average age

    Deaths per cap .0000004

    Land area – 103,483 mi²

    New Zealand is at the BOTTOM of the list.

    Yes, obviously an island nation, (to protect itself) but still Draconian from the start, ya think?

    Look up who runs that joint…

    Wake up you libs and leftist!
