This may go down as one of the saddest episodes in American medical history, with the vast majority of medical personnel having let themselves be neutered by gov't, and a good majority of the population that has been neutered by the media. Fear is a powerful thing, and is good at preventing people from questioning authority, even when that authority lacks common sense.
Many high risk patients could very likely be kept out of the hospital with cheap, safe, available out patient medications or with the experimental vaccines, but one of these available options is not being entertained.
And many people who do end up at the hospital, could likely be quickly turned around back to home to receive out patient treatment only, if there was less politics in medicine (politics has always been in the finances of medicine, but never so prominent in the treatment).
And the way that these authoritarian governors in the name of so called safety have abused emergency powers and used state licensing agencies and health dept's to intimidate and take apart private businesses, churches, etc. is truly scary. I would like to see that whole system either disbanded or reorganized to better protect the people from these despots.
