unique in being unprepared<\/p>\n<p>01:36<\/p>\n<p>most countries were not<\/p>\n<p>01:38<\/p>\n<p>the report team discovered that italy&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>01:41<\/p>\n<p>pandemic plan<\/p>\n<p>01:42<\/p>\n<p>hadn&#8217;t changed since 2006 and noted it<\/p>\n<p>01:49<\/p>\n<p>dr zambon and his lawyer say it wasn&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p>01:51<\/p>\n<p>an issue until wh<\/p>\n<p>01:53<\/p>\n<p>officials told the zambon team to amend<\/p>\n<p>01:56<\/p>\n<p>the report<\/p>\n<p>01:57<\/p>\n<p>and say the plan had been updated
