British Columbia’s provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry spoke on Global News’ ‘The Morning Show’ on Tuesday about a wide range of topics that she’s had to deal with over the past year, including security concerns she and other public health officers have faced and a post-pandemic world.

Henry said she acknowledged some of the decisions she’s made over the past year have not always made people happy and that she’s questioned every time she’s had to make those decisions. She said the decisions are made together as a team and she and other health officials across the country have had discussions about COVID-19 measures, but she said she knows they have had an impact on everyone from seniors to youth.

“This is the world I signed up for and at least I know we have the support of public health officers across the country and around the world and that makes all the difference too,” she said.

Her sister Lynn, who joined Henry to also speak about their new book ‘Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe: Four Weeks that Shaped a Pandemic,’ also spoke about the security concerns. She said her sister had not spoken about the security issues but said during a visit to B.C. in early March 2020, she found out through a neighbour. She added it was not surprising, however, because when people get anxious or afraid “sometimes they act out in these kinds of ways.”

Henry was also asked about when people could see a return to normal and said “our post-pandemic world” would be in the next few months but it would depend on people being immunized and protecting those most at risk. But she said things would not be exactly what “we had before” after the pandemic showed the inequities that exist.
