As the individual prior to her interview stated, PHE or the NHS did order PPE in January just in case this became a problem, even though at the time the WHO and China were dramatically under playing human to human transmission, unfortunately this was just at the same time as everyone else was ordering the same and the supply chain was starting to collapse (and I’d hazard a guess that China would be sitting on some export orders, as they would be the only ones who knew the truth about Covid 19).
The only way UK would have had enough PPE would have been to order lots or have lots of reserve stock when nobody know there was an issue.
The other point was to ignore WHO advice on reusing PPE where possible and safe to do so, she also went on about “anecdotal”, ie non existent, evidence of increased suicides in NHS staff.
