Living with COVID; lessons learned for the community and health system

Libby Boyd from Devonport Rotary Club

Breakfast at Corelli's Cafe with a speaker this Friday 20th Nov 6.45am

Des Gorman (Ngati Kuri and Ngapuhi) is a Professor of Medicine in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at the University of Auckland and is currently involved in health reforms in a number of different jurisdictions.

"We went into this pandemic profoundly under-prepared and when we should have closed the borders hard, we couldn't.  Being properly resourced meant being able to call on the army and police to set up motels, and even a tented village.  "I think we were spectacularly complacent."

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
