5 Years Since Lockdown: Have We Recovered?

- Memories of that weird month of March and that 2020 Easter

- Did we misread (ie we thought the AFL comp would collapse, businesses would fall apart because people couldn’t meet (enter; Zoom!) etc

- What did we miss over those 2 years///our families///the community

- Lessons learned:

· good lessons

· lessons we’d rather forget

· ongoing issues that resulted from Lockdown (ie anxiety in teens, businesses that went under – hah! – health issues etc)

- Any good that came out of Lockdown

- If we had to endure another pandemic, what would we do better next time
