Why was NZ govt slow to move to restrict borders, prepare for pandemic, why did we not prevent bulk export of masks/PPE? #Taiwan did this January 2020.
Jan-Feb & #39;20 China pressured NZG on Covid response; when they knew a pandemic was coming.

At what point did NZ govt break with WHO advice? NZ authorities informed health orgs of new coronavirus originating Wuhan in mid Jan 2020. Their Jan 23 notice, based on WHO, has no advice for NZ travel to/from China, tho& #39; Wuhan lockdown had begun, & https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇨🇳" title="Flag of China" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of China"> govt knows pandemic is next
The norm in https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇳🇿" title="Flag of New Zealand" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of New Zealand">would be an investigation into NZG response to Covid in due course, with the sorry outcome published years later. But we need to know the answers now, because we need all our politicians & bureaucrats to learn the political lessons right now, not when it is too late
