As with any project, task or whatever - there is always more than one way to skin a cat. As others have said, there is no rule book for covid19. Every country in the world was flying blind. Every country in the world had to formulate a plan of action for their citizens. Our plan might have been different from some other country’s, but it worked. Read my lips .... it worked!
Things will be tough for a while - everywhere. We do not have that on our own. But we will get through it, like every other difficult situation NZ has been through. Your negative, constantly pessimistic attitude helps nobody. Least of all you.
