Signed and Sealed?

Four dead seals, washed up on a Scottish beach, have tested positive for Avian 'flu. This brings it to 70 Mammals, including Otters and Red foxes, who have been infected with the 'bird' virus (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/feb/10/four-dead-seals-test-positive-bird-flu-scotland-aoe). The likelihood of Avian 'flu jumping to Mammals seems to be quite high. In the earliest Bird 'flu pandemic, the UK government paid for the production of anti-virals to treat a potential human outbreak. They went unused and it's striking that no real preparations seem to be forthcoming this time round. Covid19 seems to have taught this country's politicians remarkably little?
