On that day, Hubei Province, an area of China of 56 million people, closed down on the back of 540 confirmed cases—just 540. The Director-General of Health in his first speech said, "There will be imported cases, but the likelihood of a sustained community outbreak remains very low." Why? Because they had the systems and the resources to deal with this. How many times have we heard the Director-General and the Minister of Health say that the likelihood of a sustained community outbreak was very low? It started as "very, very low", then "very low", then "low", then they stopped saying it at all. But they had a pandemic plan and it was a very good plan, according to the Minister. Yet in his press release today, he admits now, "Staff in our Public Health Units are our first line of defence against infectious diseases, but they don't have the resources … to handle a pandemic." Well, we haven't heard that at all in the last 11 weeks. In fact, we haven't heard much from the Minister of Health at all, who has issued just five press releases since the Ministry of Health first communicated with GPs on 6 January. Weak and late.
