The warning was for governments. If the US had spare ICU capacity, and a national reserve of PPE and critical care supplies like we had before 2009, we'd be miles better off.
Experts knew it was "all but airborne if not airborne" and that masks were the best way to stop it from day one, but discouraged Americans from buying them as the hospitals would desperately need them far more. So many more people will be infected and die because they didn't have a $.50 mask. And this is all because we didn't spend a tiny pittance getting ready.
