It has been 5 long years since the earliest COVID-19 cases were noticed in November 2019. Last Saturday, I gave a talk in Whangarei where I was able to look back, discuss the way ahead and answer questions. I reached the conclusion that we need a review. We need to take a long hard look at the events and outcomes of the last five years and then have some serious conversations.
The role of journalists is not just to entertain, but to tell us what is going on in society. They look for truths under the surface and behind the scenes and then share their insights. They are unafraid to ask questions, even if the answers are sometimes unpalatable.
