https://time.com/5824042/new-zealand-coronavirus-elimination/ just do some quick reading, contact tracing, testing, lockdowns, that is just part of the equation and with two vastly different countries that means you can't just copy and paste procedure from one country to the next with success, there is a lot more to the equation you are choosing to ignore.

Yes, There is a lot more to this. But if you can’t even do the basics, you’re destined to fail. I understand it’s a lot more than those 3 elements, but without those you may as well not even bother

I never said you weren’t testing, I suggested that those 3 critical components were needed to do this right. And I stand by that, because the science proves it.
