What concerns me is people flooding to the hospital. They should station army troops outside the hospital with a triage nurse determining who gets in. I bet a lot of those people waiting in the ER don’t have the virus, and shouldn’t even be there. It burns out the medical staff, and provides a nice environment for the virus to spread.
If your area has an outbreak, the last thing you want to do is have to go to the hospital for something else.
Just listened to a podcast with Steve Hatfield. Remember him ? He says they have to put infected in special holding areas away from hospital. Otherwise the hospitals shutdown and normal services are not available. Unused schools, bases, malls, etc. should be used for infected.
