With 236 positive cases, and only 5 people hospitalized, I’m afraid that some might think that it’s just mild, like the flu. And then go out and infect more people.

For many of these rural communities, the nearest hospital is hours away, and then may only have one or two ventilators and only one person trained to use it.

Hundreds of hospitals throughout the country have closed in the last few years as venture capital takes over health care. If it doesn't turn a profit, close it.

But will this pandemic change anyone's mind about the for-profit health care system in the U.S.? I doubt it.
