Sounds like based on past experience, Singapore (and others) got right the fuck on top of things: https://arstechnica.com/science/202...ries-take-note/
We in the good ole US of A should take some serious notes. Of course our two societies are structured very differently, so we couldn't implement these sorts of things overnight.
We're going to have to come to grips, openly and vocally, with the fact that our system of private, for-profit medicine is fine for the "you call your doctor and schedule an appointment weeks or months out"...but that it does fuck all for a social/pandemic type situation.
Our populace is going to have to ask, and answer, politically, the question: is at least SOME level of healthcare a "right" in our society? If the majority answer is "yes," then we need to decide just how much healthcare is a right, and then decide how to fund it. "But it's expensive!" Christ, so is the private for-profit system. How much could we save if we eliminated getting billed from 8 separate doctors/providers/businesses every time the wife goes to "the" doctor? Etc.
I'm 43, and it will not happen in my lifetime.
