Interesting thread for healthcare professionals:
Hospital admin & healthcare workers: I would like to invite you to pile onto this thread regarding U.S. readiness for epidemic spread of #covid19 aka #2019nCoV aka #coronavirus : Do you have supplies, training, respiratory equipment. Have protocols been set? Chain-of-command?

Not a “feel good” read, for sure.
From 'official' China news.
The provincial guy that cane up with this idea will be promoted LOL!
I was talking about this two weeks ago. I am sure the little clique of Emergency Management and Infectious Disease Control has expanded by now. They are probably being told they cannot over order things outside the budget.
If the SHTF there will be clinical staff walking off the job.
Hospitals are big business these days. But unlike big biz, they don’t do a ton of risk management.
The CDC knows all of this already and looks to have done nothing to prepare these folks. Typical government incompetence. That is the danger of putting your faith in it.
The lack of training and supplies is, as someone there posted is “butt-clenchingly terrifying.”
