Should we be dropping Covid restrictions quicker?

NOTES:
- The true mortality rate is likely considerably lower than 0.05% due to the number of unreported cases.
- The Ministry of Health data provides Covid death and recovery rates by age, but not the mortality percentage which we have calculated by dividing deaths by (deaths plus recovered).
- Death figures are of those who died with Covid, not necessarily because of it. Primary cause of death and co-morbidity data has not yet been made public. We have put in several Official Information Act requests to try to obtain this.
- 102 deaths is a small sample due to the 0.05% death rate, but the recovered sample size is significant at 187,116.
- We have not commented on any long-term side-effects from getting Covid, or not, as that is not yet well researched, understood, or published.
- All numbers are provisional and subject to revision.
