Why do we not expand capacity? Where is the planning here? Where are the national guard hospitals we setup and then took down last year. We are in a pandemic and it’s not like that’s new news.

I can understand them not having enough nurses. I can't see anyone wanting to get into nursing to fill those positions right now, but why are there still supply problems?

I have the same question about testing. All the public sites around me closed and it seems like nothing was learned.
