OPINION: The first Stuff/Massey survey in mid-July showed continued strong backing for the Government's Covid-19 response, with 68.4 per cent rating it as “successful” – so what's next? Do we simply ‘move on’ into the fog of whatever future lies before us – or do we try to shape that road ahead? Everyone wants to get back to a ‘new normal’ – ‘It was awful, but let’s put that behind us’ or perhaps, ‘Let’s find someone to blame’. Under this kind of extreme pressure, the Government, individual experts and others such as key businesses can move quickly, as the Covid-19 response shows. AP Britain has its Cobra committee to help deal with times of national crisis.
