It is because we are not organized nor have the mindset to deal with it.

One mindset we don't have is a tough one. We won't be able to save everyone. So we need to allocate medicine and resources on those with the best chance of survival. That means scarce vaccines, lung ventilators and emergency rooms have to be allocated PRIOR to the event. Sorry grandma, you don't qualify! A form of triag based upon odds. Good luck with that.

Concur. Quarantine and isolation will also need to be rapidly imposed.

“That means scarce vaccines, lung ventilators and emergency rooms have to be allocated PRIOR to the event.”

Their was an article in the Seattle Times a week or so ago that was discussing how all the emergency rooms were full this winter in the Seattle area. They said with the flu they are typically croweded, but this year was especially bad. Also because of high insurance costs, lack of ER personnel, etc. (Hmmm - they didn’t mention illegals).

Regardless, they were saying how the ER’s were all full and they were sending accident vitims to other hospitals outside the county, etc.
