Here's a nice graph of NZ restrictiveness compared to UK and US. You'll see we peak up higher than either but then drop down to very low restrictions.

That graph definitely makes it look like NZ has had a lot less restrictions cummulatively than USA.

It certianly felt that way from here in NZ.

I think part of our successful economic recovery is because it wasn't only OPEN but SAFE. In the US and UK there are families living in fear of infection, leading to less consumer behavior.
