Learn lessons from our COVID-19 response, or our health system could suffer the consequences.
That’s the leading message from a group of five academics from the Universities of Otago, Canterbury and Massey, who say a failure to learn from this and previous outbreaks could result in a loss of time, knowledge and momentum for future crises.
Professor David Murdoch, the Dean of University of Otago in Christchurch, is the lead author on the editorial piece in the latest issue of the New Zealand Medical Journal this morning.
The paper reflects on the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response’s report into COVID-19, and says that while our health system has coped well, there is still plenty to learn.

Synopsis:
Spare Parts is set in a godforsaken bar in the middle of nowhere where an all-girl band – Ms. 45 – rips the stage apart with their punk spirit. But their performance impresses an enthusiastic fan who lures the girls into a trap, sedates them, and starts…customizing them. Slowly they begin to gain consciousness and, in total shock, realize their arms have all been replaced with axes and chainsaws to fight gladiator-style in a junkyard arena owned by a sadistic “emperor,” forcing them into the battle of their lives with one prize in mind – their freedom.
