US Healthcare

We can now design a CoViD-19 strategy based on fact, not flawed theory. Evidence drives a strategy of stopping lock-downs, allowing normal contacts including work, quarantine of high-risk Americans, and mass testing.  There is NO NEED TO FEAR a return to normalcy, and every reason to do it.  Sign up for more videos and information here:  Fixing US Healthcare 

Elected officials such as New York and Atlanta mayors as well as clinical physicians, viz., in Maryland and Colorado, are projecting there will be more patients who need life-saving CoViD-19 services than there are facilities--ICU beds and ventilators--available. Such an imbalance between the needs of critically ill patients and healthcare capabilities requires triage, deciding who gets care and who waits. Who should do the triage? Who should make the life or death decision? Triage of the sick or injured started on the battlefield probably during Napoleon's 1799 siege of the ancient city of Acre in northern Israel. Many of his troops became ill from poor sanitation and inadequate food. The soldiers were separated or "triaged" into those fit to fight and those who were not.

His words apply to the CoViD-19 (Corona Virus Disease, 2019) outbreak. At the moment, fear of contagion and death (blown out of proportion) dominate public consciousness. The news cycle is filled with constantly changing statistics, wild predictions, and the inevitable blame game. Six months from now, with CoViD-19 in the rear-view mirror and more than 99.99 percent of Americans alive and well, there are lessons we can and should learn. Various nations have addressed the CoViD-19 crisis in different ways medically, financially, even politically. There will be different outcomes from these diverse approaches. The world can learn useful lessons based on analyzed experience. For instance, South Korea implemented very early, extensive testing and contact charting. Italy chose limited, targeted testing. More than 4800...
