We've only had ~3,000 cases in NZ, but I feel like I've had a few close calls with a few of the 'clusters' we have had. Between second and third-hand contacts it seems that we humans really get around.
Had a few instances where a workmate has been in the area of clusters when they began, have had to self-isolate while they await test results, and then had to prepare for if they come back positive that we'd be out of work until the cluster dissolves.
Luckily none of it has come to anything so far, but with only 3,000 cases if we've had these few close calls as it is, I don't feel like it would take much for the virus to take hold in NZ.
In saying that, I don't know anyone directly who has had it, but we interact with people on a daily basis who interact with more people on a daily basis and it's kind of like a '... and
they tell two friends, and
they tell two friends...' situation.
It's kind of a joke here in NZ that everyone knows each other by only two degrees of separation, so it seems that everyone knows someone who knows someone who's had it
