One example, we were hesitant to adopt mandatory masking. Remember all the hoohah when Victoria made masks mandatory? In fact, we didn't even need the WHO to tell us that, we could have just looked at other jurisdictions that have been through "outbreaks" in the past.
We should be ok for future pandemics. After vaccination is complete, we will have contact tracing chips in all of us.
