Most bureaucrats and politicians botched dealing with SARS2.
The panic about hospitals came from blindly following experience in Italy and Japan where everyone was shoved into hospital. And medical people here have not heard of ‘field hospitals’, military and Communist Chinese had to show them how.
And most medical authorities here did not shield the truly vulnerable - persons on care residences. In contrast Florida was sharp enough to learn from Italian experience, acted assertively, did not need much lockdown. And some large care chains in Canada knew that a new virus emerging in Communist China would be in North America soon.
