Jacinda Ardern hits back at Trump: "Anyone who was following outbreaks around the world would quite easily see New Zealand's nine new cases yesterday didn't compare to the tens of thousands in the United States."

Conflicting information probably doesn't help in the US though. You can get clear, concise information, but it's also really easy to get the complete opposite, depending on who you decide to listen to, and as you said, also potentially on where you are.

On the other hand, here in NZ, we get short daily briefings that cover literally everything you need to know nationwide in a few minutes before going a bit more in depth about specific topics (of course, this wouldn't really be possible in the US at the moment, our daily briefing covers new cases/deaths/clusters evolution/etc in the first 5-10 minutes).

The media also aren't trying to stir too much shit, and there's very little division around the overall response from any major political party, and even less around the most basic stuff (like masks or untested medicine, to name a few)
