• 🤔 Is COVID-19 an ongoing Pandemic or not? My bet is these new kids and seniors in hospital would weakly say ‘yes’. When Public Health (PH) finally stirs again and crowns “new vaccines are here, be assured”. Maybe they mutter: “I was vaccinated and sick before, so I’ll get boosted again, but quitting on COVID-19 is not same thing as stopping COVID-19 “. We must stand up to threats that imperil us.

We built up all this great surveillance and response infrastructure and then threw it away like disposable masks and kit.

• I’ve heard it said you cannot prepare enough for combat, and stopping Pandemics is the same. Unfortunately we are much better at preparing for war than Pandemics. And, then, given the microbes in the queue and how many lessons we failed to internalize during COVID-19, I see the good doctor’s warning here as being overly optimistic.
