> What really happened.... an ambulance would come to “deal with you”

At one point, LA had to resort to Fire Trucks because ambulances were unavailable.

If you don't think health care services were severely stretched, in some cases beyond breaking point (incl. staff unavailability because they themselves were sick), I really don't know what to say. This happened in New York as well.

Fire trucks and ambulances both feature staff trained as EMT’s. The provisioning of the vehicles might be slightly different, but the medical training is the same. And I’m sure the provisioning could be adjusted based on the circumstances.

Staff being unavailable because they’re sick is quite literally “normal day to day operations” that every company must be able to account for, not “beyond the breaking point”.

But if you “don’t know what to say” beyond vague emotional appeals unsupported by the very sources you claim to cite, I’m glad we agree on that at least.
