> Taiwan had a detailed plan in the event of a pandemic, the UK did not.

That's not true. At the beginning of Feb last year I searched if there was any UK pandemic plan. I found the active pandemic flu planning documents. 80% of it was about dealing with dead bodies, with stuff like turning Hyde Park into an open air morgue and insisting that each council has a plan of where to put the bodies.

There was little else in the plan, regarding preventing/hospital management.

The impression that I got reading them was that it was all about managing the consequences, and very little about fighting the pandemic. Defeatism basically.

I should've been more precise in my wording. There was not enough detail where it really mattered, such as the example you give of 'preventing/hospital management'.
