Health professionals are subject to triage just like ordinary patients? In a pandemic most people will be a long way out on the tail.

Waiting in line. Priority subject to unaccountable officials. Yup, sounds like government run healthcare.

you're right! lets just let the free market decide! /s

in reality though these are private institutions run with private money. how can you blame the government when it seems they have little interest in acknowledging there is a problem in the first case.

I didn't realize that the county and state health officials, as well as the CDC were private institutions. My bad.

The CDC needs to clean house.

If the world had taken this seriously a month ago we wouldn't be in this situation.

If the world took it seriously today, we wouldn't be as fucked as we're going to be a month from now.

Front-line personnel must always be first priority, because they deserve that, and because everyone else needs them.

If we took it seriously, what would we have done differently? Do you think there are specific actions that we could have done, and what would the different outcome be?

"The CDC shunned WHO test guidelines used by other countries and set out to create a more complicated test of its own that could identify a range of similar viruses. But when it was sent to labs across the country in the first week of February, it didn’t work as expected." https://www.propublica.org/article/cdc-coronavirus-covid-19-...

The CDC could have adoopted the WHO guidelines for testing at the start. It's reasonable to assume that if they had, the US would now have a much greater testing capacity.
