It has been nearly 2 years. Have they considered training a few people to handle respiratory diseases and bulking up the hospitals?

Nursing is hard and takes years of training, but 2 years would have been long enough to teach people how to manage the average case of 1 disease.

There have been a lot of people sitting around doing not much, they could probably use the work.

There is also the argument for encouraging people to lead a healthier lifestyle. Even though it’s political suicide to tell people that they need to get in shape, two years of a push from the government would have had enough time to make a great impact on overall population health.
