Emergency measures have arrived and while these would always be necessary in this kind of crisis, but we are starting off at a very bad place of under-staffing and decades of policy that have limited the growth of hospital services.
It is a market model that caused this crisis where excess beds in a hospital is considered a bad thing; where minimum staffing is the goal.
The crisis is showing what levels of investment and workers would be necessary to absorb any crisis in society. We have been given advanced notice of the coming storm this time and we are still woefully unprepared. Next time, we may not be so lucky.
