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.

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.

Actually I think every family having all of those the things you list would be much more useful than a bunch of huge empty hospitals.

Every family would be well advised to have a disaster kit in the home.

But being the Conservative that I am I don’t believe that the Government should supply those items or mandate their purchase or ownership by individuals.
