I’d just like to point out at this stage that catastrophe planning is already done, it’s just a matter of implementing it. I guarantee you the hospital system can deal with anything. It’s been done elsewhere before…
No, it won’t be “hospital” as you have ever known.

The staff will suffer, the patients will suffer, elective work won’t get done, and emergency work might get done. In some countries it has been indicated by some sources that blanket decisions were made not to transfer many to hospital in the first place.
So if you are waiting for the hospital system to “collapse” before doing something, you could be waiting forever.
The question you should be asking is… where were we in terms of care delivery, where are we now, and where are we going?

Ask the questions…
Can we provide care to patients safely?
How long are the waiting times to get emergency and elective care?
How will future healthcare provisions be met if we continue to “live with the virus”?
It’s an absolute nightmare mess of gargantuan proportions.

Look for this hard data, because I guarantee you that some staff will continue to limp to their jobs, and attempt to deliver care, no matter what happens… so there will be a hospital… just not anything like how you remember it.
Living in a society that has a crippled health system shouldn’t be the aim of any government or public health body.
It sounds obvious, but too many governments and doctors seem to think that provided we don’t see the horrors of 2020/2021 all is good.
The bar is set too low.

We need to do the work and have the settings to aim far higher. We should aim for functional health service delivery that meets the needs of the people, and a healthy population not riddled with post SARS chronic illness.

In my view, if close contacts and sick people are working in hospitals… it’s already “collapsed”… but as “collapsed” and “catastrophe” have no actual defining parameters, we carry on, oblivious.
