That makes sense, but then I think about the military. Don’t they have a massive medical force? They are not _all_ doctors and nurses (although many are) but all are highly trained and could serve here. Why not deploy them to the current ba

Why did they not extend capacity with field hospitals weeks ago? They’ve been telling us it was going to get bad, then it did and they’re not prepared for it? What is going on here?
