Recommendation 60

60

The operation of COBR was not well-suited to the modern demands of a pandemic response.

Conclusion
The operation of COBR was not well-suited to the modern demands of a pandemic response. It is especially concerning that its culture of confidentiality was considered by some to be so unreliable that alternative meetings were arranged that could command greater confidentiality among participants.
