I do 'recall' Andrew vividly. I also recall people asking for help and help in any quantity. Surely something is better then nothing, which is what they received in the end.

But how many machines were readily available. And one doesn't usually have
the luxury of deploying novel technology in the face of an epidemic which
one is already struggling to cope with due to insufficient adequately
trained/knowledgeable folk on the ground.

Strange we manage to cover all of that Andrew when we send our troops to war. Field hospitals, drugs, you name it this Government well any Government can come up with the goods then, if and when needed. No matter how shorter a notice the troops are sent in at. Simple truth is they did not want a way of testing did they? You would have thought that seeing how all on the ground were struggling to cope and seeing as many did not even know what they were looking for – that ANY test would have been grabbed. To alleviate the backlog of cattle to bury and destroy and to help the VETS etc who had NO idea what they were looking for.
