Message: [QUOTE="kingdobbs, post: 3496957, member: 1655"] My point isn’t really to say that it’s an unsolvable problem, because it’s not, or that rural hospitals are fated to become horrorshows with no way of averting the inevitable. Just to say how quickly it can go tits up in a localized outbreak with a relatively small number of infections and the right conditions (and not even “black swan event” types of conditions, conditions that are within the realm of normality such as a city hospital being overwhelmed and not able to take on patients from the suburbs or rural exurbs), and that the prevention plan for a rural area really can’t be to say “eh, it’s a big city problem” and roll the dice when there’s an easy way to tip the scales in your favor.
