Risks & tensions

  • Document frames school closures as greater risk to children than coronavirus itself, a contested public health position
  • Mentions 'imminent delivery' of COVID-19 vaccine in October 2020, which proved optimistic relative to actual timeline
  • BE BEST initiative described as 'whole-of-person wellness' program; actual scope was narrower (online safety, opioid awareness, character)
