On the subject of my original point Who started it or where it came from, doesn't really matter, looking for someone to blame does not answer how we responded to the threat There were countries who had experienced SARs who were far better prepared than us We have to learn from this and make sure we are better prepared in the future for these kind of scenarios |  |

Of course it matters who and where it came from, in terms of stopping it happening again! |  |

We do have to learn from this but will will they? When I joined the Civil Service I was pleasantly surprised to see how much emergency planning, disaster recovery, Health & Safety etc stuff there was. They actually had dedicated teams trained to do it. It was my first job with them and we did everything from Fire Risk Assessing to DSE to writing recovery plans looking after all sorts of things. After 2010, to my knowledge it all went in the bin. I’d moved on by then but from former colleagues, it was judged as non productive work. Policy was that it was cheaper for people to sue if they had carpel tunnel or other problems than try and prevent them. Any work of this kind could be lumped off on managers as part of their job. Great I hear you say, but even if they’d done the work, which they didn’t, you were potentially paying somebody £60k a year (e.g. a Grade 6 at the time) to do the work of a Band D at £30k a year. No saving unless you shelve the work. Disaster Recovery plans? All but abandoned as far as I’m aware. Brexit also played its part of this after 2016. The CS rightly focussed on it, including most of its project teams after 2017. Why would you worry about a pandemic that may never happen when you have a potential disaster of unimaginable proportions looming with no deal Brexit? You wouldn’t and they didn’t. Agreed. Preparation is everything. We have to learn and do better, just as people in the Far East who learned from SARS did. Can you imagine it happening though? |  | |  |

Ah, but where did the animals catch it? Were the Chinese engineering killer raccoon dog biorobots? |  |
