Liam Dann:The big investment question testing our Covid response.
Should we be opening the progressively opening our borders ... to movie moguls ... to Australians ... to foreign students?
I still think we could, but if we decide to loosen restrictions to benefit the economy then we need to accept we are taking more risk.
The more people we let through, the higher the chance that we'll be let down by careless travellers, or by a human error in processing them, or a combination of both.
Despite my own disappointment about the recent high-profile quarantine bungles, no leader can realistically guarantee operational perfection.
Is it the Government's role, as the guardian of our physical and economic health, to land on a risk assessment that aligns with majority of the population, or one that aligns with the experts? And which experts?
But as time marches on and the world gets on with living with this virus, New Zealanders will increasingly face tough choices between risk and reward.
