When I first became concerned about the virus in early January, I asked our business continuity leader (VP level) what our plans were in case things progressed like in China. I was told that we had a pandemic plan in place from 2009, and that "nothing had changed." I'm well versed in DR/BCP, and I was amazed. The idea that someone thought our business operations, staffing, and technology hadn't changed in 11 years was amazing. What's sad is that we once had a robust DR/BCP plan that was thoroughly tested on a yearly basis. Over the last 12 years that has slowly been whittled down as a waste of time and money. Kind of like how California had all those mobile hospitals that were dumped by Gov. Brown during a financial crisis. Shortsightedness is the norm these days.
