A simulation of an influenza pandemic was undertaken in 2010, and if you read it the level of PPE used was lower. I.e just a surgical mask, not they full visor type.

Just because we are used to the term flu doesn't mean it's not a killer every year.it can also overwhelm the NHS from winter to winter and in the year of a new pandemic is the reason why this government are rolling out the flu jab to more of the population than ever before.Just so the NHS isn't overwhelmed by two sets of infection at the same time this winter.
