The American people don’t trust most of our institutions anymore. And the medical community is next.these death numbers aren’t just CoVid, it must be a catch all number
Exactly, and the dramatic/hyped social media posts about over loaded hospitals, lack of PPE and ventilators, etc., etc., only increases the mistrust people will have going forward. Hats off to medical professionals for being there and being prepared, however, with the exception of only a few places, it’s been a way overblown, and a fairly obvious attempt to overstate the importance of public health for the intention of receiving funding (never let a crisis go to waste). If anything, hospitals will be hurt in the long run because they enacted their surge plans, cleaned out the facilities non-serious cases and cancelled elective procedures...all leading to a decrease in revenue and people’s hours being cut.
