"Our society, as a whole, has no surge protection - no ability
to take shocks. We have no excess beds, no excess equipment, no excess
ability to produce vaccines or medicines, nothing. Everybody has
worshiped at the altar of efficiency for so long that they don't
understand that if you don't have extra capacity you have no ability
to deal with unexpected events." -- Ian Welsh,
