Ya know? (lengthy pause for effect)

Maybe we should spend a Trillion Dollars of public funds so build enough hospitals so that we could handle the millions of injured people that might need medical care should some very unlikely disaster occur.

I mean you can never be TOO careful.

The fact that these hospitals would stand empty and unused should have no bearing on whether we build them.

And the fact that there would not be enough train medical staff to man these hospitals should also be of no consequence.

Also the fact that within 10 years the technology in these hospitals would be so out of date to the point of uselessness should not bother anybody.

We should start construction right away.

End Sarcastic Rant.

YOU FORGOT:

The Bureaucratic mentality and fear of Civil Liability lawsuits won’t ALLOW any Doctors/nurses who DO show up, to actually save lives!

Sarcasm is as sarcasm does. :)

Be cheaper to issue everybody a "graphic novel" style DIY first aid manual; a PDR; a Merk Manual of Nursing; a Boy Scout Field Manual; and a couple of amps of morphine & atropine.

Just as useful, too.

P.S. I went through grammar school in the early 1950's; I still remember how to 'duck & cover'. That's also just as useful.
