History has shown how pandemics can completely overrun any healthcare system and then much more people die due to lack of space, equipment, and facilities.
Don't remember who it was, but early in this thread, someone posted how if the distancing measures, lock downs, etc. worked, people would look back and bitch about how unnecessary it all was....but it only seems that way precisely because the measures worked. A fairly clairvoyant post, that was.
