Are you using Covid as a training exercise.

[Joe]

I think most will agree that Covid is not the Big One that most people see it as, if anything it’s a relatively slow moving low level event, in fact it could be described as incredibly boring. However at the start of the event I decided to treat it as something different, I treat it as a very good training exercise.
I had never experienced a pandemic before, I think the worst I had seen was in the late 60s/ early 70 when every other person had severe flu like symptoms. So this was something relatively new on the radar and based on the China modelling was running around the 2.3% kill rate and then mainly older folk. So it wasn’t exactly Ebola with a spread rate of measles.
However from the start I treated it as something far more deadly because in my view something far more deadly could come alone pretty soon.
In fact this is an ideal training environment for greater pandemics and it provides a massive insight into what will work and what won’t.
So has anyone else tried to turn this negative into a small positive?
