Professionalism is thinking and understanding before you start firing a gun at your infrastructure, testing stuff and not shooting client SLAs.

We do that bit between the CVE being announced and patching ahit, not when the press goes ape shit.

Yes. When there's an exploit available now, you really don't have that luxury.
