No, nor did they in 2007-08 with H1N1 or Ebola. The precautionary principle was engraved by Justice Campbell with the SARS commission report. We worked with the Public Health Agency of Canada. CMA was there. The ER doctors were there also during H1N1 and Ebola, and again today.
To say that we were surprised by this.... It is hard to accept when you're on the front line because we knew what we had to do.
