The review panel also acknowledged the speed of change that was happening around this time, and they acknowledged that the speed with which the number of daily cases was rising in Auckland had overwhelmed the system. They pointed out, for example, that at the time that they were writing the report, the system was supporting 1,255 patients with COVID and their whānau and close contacts: a total of 2,835 people in 885 households. And just a matter of weeks before, there was one organisation being required to support just 50 families at the commencement of the programme. That is how quickly things changed. For the record, there are now over 6,500 people being supported in the system, and that is requiring a daily programme of a size that has never had to be geared up before. None of that is comfort to the whānau and families of these men who have died.
