Yes, please.
We have learned a lot. Most jurisdictions, including at the national level, have done a review of what happened during the pandemic of 2009 and 2010, and they have received recommendations from advisory groups. When I was in Alberta, the Health Quality Council of Alberta did the review and provided a list of recommendations that were accepted by the government. There's work being done to improve. I think we all learned how to do things better.
It was the first pandemic, I should point out, where we had a vaccine. For all the previous pandemics in the 20th century, there was no vaccine available at the time. We also had to develop priority lists for the use of antivirals, because in the first wave, the antivirals were all we had available, besides the social-distancing techniques that can be applied in any situation of that sort. We learned from that as well.
The final thing I want to add is that first responders were on a list. They just weren't at the top of the list, because we had identified some groups that were at the highest risk of dying and having severe morbidity. You have to recall that some of the people would end up in an ICU. Instead of spending two or three days each, they would spend weeks, sometimes two or three weeks, in an ICU, and would be mobilizing beds that would not be available for other types of emergencies. That was viewed as our very top priority in terms of immunization.
