We need a commission to review COVID response!
COVID has not gone away. Government must review its past decisions (inventory, manpower and facilities) in preparation for future pandemics while the data is available and could be cleaned. Not doing such review is irresponsible. Time will corrode memory and erode facts. John Stossel on politicians and news that got COVID wrong.
