The day after COVID-19

Death tolls are rising, in most of the world this viral infection is rampant. Emergency departments are overwhelmed; we can't find a mask or a gown to protect ourselves. We heard that in China they brought in 40,000 healthcare workers in complete protective gear to bail out Wuhan and none of this back up crew became infected with the virus. We see the patients with heart attacks and strokes that can't get treated because the patient next to them is sicker with COVID 19 and can't breathe. We realize that there aren't enough ventilators to support each breathless patient that comes in.
