China bought us time, we made zero use of it and really messed up the testing ramp up when it could easily have been Korea-quality. We had enough time.

We still haven't had the situation deteriorate to Italy/Iran levels so therey may be time to make up for lost time in other ways by mitigating better etc, even as testing catches up. So far we haven't seen hospitals overwhelmed and death rates of 7% or whatever.

For example, I'd institute all-hands triage training specifically around this, not just the relevant GPs, triage nurses and ICU staff. Italy has shown that in a surge event any available medical personnel will get sucked in, many of whom are really rusty on the right protocols

Replying to and
I was grading the states response. Individual hosptials/institutions that happen to be in states that are fucking up can still do amazing work (eg UW ftw)
