Coronavirus

Further to the above:

NSW Health’s Jeremy McAnulty said a teenager was one of 43 people currently in intensive care in NSW.

He said of 43 people in intensive care, one was a teenager, seven were in their 20s, three were in their 30s, 14 were in their 50s, 12 were in their 60s and six were in their 70s.

With previous outbreaks there were no young people in intensive care the nature of the disease has changed with this Delta variant. Previously it was rare for teenagers and school children to be affected, this is no longer the case.

Three years before and for what. What did they know and kept quiet about.

Hi

These exercises happen all the time.

Ministers do like to publicose them if they do not go well.

The fact that they hadn’t actually learned anything? And they probably thought, ack it’ll never happen here…we are Great Britain after all :shock:

Don’t worry it is not just you, apparently we had a similar pandemic exercise in 2008ish (that is from memory) where everything went well and it was said this should happen every 5 years. Never happened again until the real thing.

Edit : I thought I had better check the year and I was actually spot on.
