just on flu was the major problem, including the health secretary at the start of the pandemic, matt hancocke, it would have been better to plan for a generic respiratory disease x, and that is what we should do in future. however, planning forflu did have some benefits, and it brings me back to my central contention that whilst this was an error, it was in no way the biggest error. dame sally davies was england's chief medical officer for nine years, leaving herjobjust months before covid reached the uk. there was groupthink, but it wasn'tjust us. this was the whole global north. the western world thought that flu was the thing to focus on. and let me be quite clear, we've had injust over a century fourflu pandemics, we will have more. it's only a question of when. so, for me, the issue is not should we not prepare for flu? we must prepare for flu. the question is, what else we do over and above that? i believe that if we prepared well for flu, we should be able to pivot pretty effectively, and we can't prepare for everything... some terms keep coming up throughout this inquiry. cygnus and
