i suspect we are about to see the shortcomings of our health care delivery system revealed in graphic detail. hope i'm wrong....
There is not a single health care system in any nation on this planet that is designed and equipped to deal with a massive influx of severely ill patients. It takes both time and money to mobilize for something of this magnitude. The quarantines and shutdowns are only intended to try to prevent the system from being overwhelmed all at once. Epidemiologists have been warning that something like this was only a matter of when it would happen, not if it would happen. It will be interesting to look back 5-10 years from now, and see if we learned anything from this.
