Or those such as myself who were forcibly separated from our partners overseas for 5 months? I had to fly to Dubai to reunite with my partner just so I could bring her back to NZ with me. I'm lucky to be able to do so; remote job, no kids, have savings. We have a Facebook group with 1,400 members in the same position who were and are suffering for months from the extreme border closure, many are married and have children.

There's no good answer here, only a least bad alternative.
