Dr. G,
I too hope that things will get better, and that the SARS Covid2 fight will soon come up with treatments that will save lives.
What worries me is that other patients undergoing tests and treatments are going to be shoved aside by the onrushing patients whether they are not carrying, infected or concerned about SC2.
I know this valley has grown way beyond it’s ability to deal with a giant surge of affected people. I suspect there aren’t any localities throughout the country that are prepared for this.
Life goes on, and memory is short. But memory is what tells us when it is time to make changes in our day-to-day behaviors…and treatments.
We should remember better. We should never forget again. We should strengthen our health infrastructure including staffing and equipment for the next one. And the one after that.
Because unless this one takes us all out, we will need to deal with it (or it’s replacement) again.
Ford said that history is bunk; that is only true if you die before it repeats itself again.
