Titanic thinking

Whatever happened to the idea of planning for disasters?

It's not like global pandemics are a new thing. They've been threatening us for as long as there's been life on this planet.

Books, movies and TV have shown all sorts of contagious diseases ravaging the world's population and what has been the result of all this red flag waving? A rather dubious mobile phone app knocked up over the last weekend that relies on people volunteering to use it.

Don't worry. By the next pandemic we'll have sorted out the problems with the app and everyone will be really keen to install on their phone.

In the meantime here are some DIY PPE patterns for you to cut-out and colour with felt tip pens.
