I think we have a healthcare crisis more than we have a viral crisis. We took the most contagious people in the country and filled our hospitals full of sick people with them, then wondered why we have overrun hospitals.

The hospitals have protocol for the flu to avoid this very situation.

Other Asian countries have done better, because they are more used to dealing with these sort of things.

You isolate the sick people from the healthy...we mixed them together as fast as we could.

If we quaratined the sick only in a stand alone facility, I argue maybe deaths would have been halved.

There was a story the other day that the 1st homeless person in NYC died the other day from Corona. There are 70,000 homeless in NYC. When not attending hospitals, the death rate is 1 in 70,000.

P.S. Diarrhea kills almost 2,200 kids every day. That is a scary, infectious, easily spread problem.

Just scary for the 1st world to have 3rd world problems.

Kids in under developed countries still have bigger things to worry about...much bigger.
