Pandemic preparedness - JL
Jan 31, 12:53 PM
The risk is, a bit like we were planning for flu – it’s the same as the war, you tend to plan for the last war – um, and I think if there’s anything you can learn from that, and we did learn from that, what you also need is huge flexibility of thought and approach, because the next war won’t be the same as the last war, and I think that it’s really important, in terms of preparedness, we, there will be another pandemic, it’s a matter of when – it’s not an if. When it will be, I don’t know. What it will be, I don’t know, but I’m hoping that some of the lessons that we’ve learned about, uh, human resilience, the planning, how to go about this, will be of value to future generations
