Just watching "lessons learned" on Newsnight, but no mention of the true lessons to be learned. Here is my list:
1. When a novel virus breaks out in January, take note immediately and take action. Start ordering PPE for health staff and carers. Start ordering whatever looks like it will be required - in this case, ventilators and compressed oxygen.
2. As other places start to show signs of infection, enforce mandatory and monitored quarantine for everyone coming from such regions, whether citizen or foreigner.
3. Tell your own citizens to cancel their foreign holidays and assure them that if they still travel,it is entirely at their own risk.
