Musings of a Few Corpsman

This will bring our medical system to the breaking point and some hospitals will break unless we increase our medical staff. A larger percentage of hospitals whose leadership thought that this would blow over will fail.  Those leaders will be replaced. There will be an extreme shortage of medical staff and people will be trained off the street and military in general will be trained to provide medical care and volunteers and voluntolds will be at hospitals and we will be setting up military tents for hospitals.  

There will be medical staff burnout and people saying screw this and walking away.

Our death percentages will be higher because we will test all of the dead but not all of the living.  Our administration will blame someone else and say we are doing a tremendous job.  At least 30 members of Congress will die and a bunch of famous or rich old people, good leadership will be hard to find.  Our death rate will also be higher is because there will be a lot of really sick broke people who won't come in when they're at deaths door because they don't have money for food let alone medical care.  It will be a bring out your dead situation and officials will tap dance around who will pay for it.

Fringe people on the left and right will do stupid stuff, nation states will make subtle attacks like what's happening against our domestic oil.  Many small businesses will fail and stocks will go down and parts of our supply chain break.  Everyone will have tried the emergency government cheese, rice and salmon and recipes with those will appear on Pinterest.
