[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 992241, member: 72205"] China are barely managing tests per capita @50% compare to South Korea ([URL]https://twitter.com/Public_Citizen/status/1238503313823404032[/URL]), in the grand scheme of things we are actually doing quite well, compared to other nations. Anyway from my understanding its not a lack of preparation as such, people have working on something like this coming for years. But you can't just magic up the resources if you don't have them. There will need to be a comprehensive review to why we didn't, I think the answer lies is the the question 'why can't this country cope with snow when we get it'. The answer is this extremely rarely happens in the UK you have to go back to Asian/Hong Kong flu's for a real outbreak of this scale in transmission (which I can't find figures of for the UK) and reality is as the Imperial College report says its likely to be on scale we've not seen since the Spanish Flu (thankfully nowhere near as deadly).
