I think I understand now. We're not living in a plan, we're living in a panic button response while someone comes up with a plan.
Can someone smarter explain this to me: what are or should governments be doing? I had assumed that the quarantine measures were to buy time for a war production like push for hospital beds and ventilators, but I haven't seen it.

Governments: Scrambling to meet their unexpectedly large needs after not taking precautionary measures (as they didn't want the economic effects) What they should be doing: Should have taken precautionary measures and prepared for overfull hospital beds and ventilators

I mean, the obvious thing is to build capacity under the assumption that quarantine can't work forever and this thing is gonna get loose. Why haven't I heard about it? Is it not happening? Or have I made a fundamentally wrong assumption?
