Economically it's really tough if NZ gets left behind. No experts are discussing this, so I am going to assume my ideas are ludicrous, but I am imagining a scenario where the South Pacific gets the virus under control and reopens travel between our nations, and the rest of the world that didn't opens up their travel among themselves, since all countries in that region of the world are basically stuck with it now. We would have this split world for a year.
