ON THE DAY OF THE ELECTIONS, 40 THOUSAND AMERICANS REQUESTED TO EMIGRATE TO NEW ZEALAND.

New Zealand's Stuff reports a massive wave of Americans, more than 40,000, have visited the government's immigration website in the past few days after the prospect of another four years under a Trump presidency, or, conversely, because they fear his demise. A situation that is difficult to contest given the climate of growing tension in the USA.

At this point, some Americans may consider the move regardless of who wins, especially since the writing is on the wall. The country seems socially on the verge of implosion, so why not go to a place where social security is high, population density low, the language spoken more or less the same? Even before the election, the US was among the largest suppliers of immigrants to New Zealand:

In addition to the economic hardship and alarming inequality of the rich, the viral pandemic has formed the second wave of the virus, with a case load exceeding 100,000 this week. Meanwhile, New Zealand Health Minister Chris Hipkins recently said that an important milestone has been reached in the country as the virus pandemic has been "crushed" due to their collective actions to mitigate the spread.

Stuff interviewed Texan Valentino Johnson, who is looking to move to New Zealand because it appears to be a "place where people care enough about each other" to follow public health rules.

"The country is becoming so divided," he said. "I want to raise my son in a place where he can be respected."

Emergency room physician Rob Brandt of Grand Rapids, Michigan has been living in a pool hut at his home for six months while isolating himself from his family.

Brandt said many Americans believe the pandemic is a hoax. He said his hospital is starting to see more cases of the virus as the second wave pushes daily cases nationwide beyond 100,000 cases.

Of course, doctors and investors get a visa very easily in New Zealand, which, however, may not be the solution for everyone.
