Good morning- There have been statements made by news agencies and in senate hearings about the lack of tests, the costs, missed work, lack of ventilators and other essential paraphernalia needed to care for the growing number of those who are ill, especially with the COVID-19 virus. This is a major concern because without proper tests and well-stocked facilities there stands a chance that many people will have no place to go for care. They will either die or pass it on to others and will not be part of any data that might be useful to the medical community. Actually this is a major concern and more important than how many people have died and if this virus is more deadly than any in the past.
