So, what are the lessons we've already learned from H1N1?
- Public Health has proven itself irrelevant.
- Health Ministers, (provincial and federal), have led by incompetence.
- The "system" is such that we rely on the drowning to throw us a safety line.
All we've heard in the past 6 months are assurances about "Preparedness Planning" and the lessons we learned from SARS.
Let's face it - there's been no measure of preparation, planning, or or obvious learning demonstrated by Public Health at any level in this country now that we are WEEKS into Round Two of the Swine Flu Outbreak.
