Well, it might not be avian influenza but the plans we made for 'bird flu' are now coming home to roost. Like many organisations, today we blew the dust off our pandemic plans and checked our resources in anticipation of Swine Flu. I'm glad to say that things seemed to be pretty well thought out and good to go.
The reassuring thing from my point of view is that there hasn't been a flap about what to do... we made plans and we are following them - without changing them on the fly. I'm sure that when this is all over, there will be a review of arrangements and procedures - that too is procedure!
Today, we set up a Groove workspace for Swine Flu, had a few calls with the District Health Board and communicated with our CDEM Group. We've also fired up all the computers (and updated their virus protection) and put arrangements in place for CODE RED. So... tomorrow's another day, let's see what it brings.
