It's clear that the American healthcare system was woefully under-prepared for this pandemic, especially with the reduction of the national stockpiles of PPE and hundreds of thousands of Americans were caused immeasurable harm by facing doctor appointments, medical procedures, giving birth, ER visits, short and long term hospital stays all by themselves ... ALONE.
There's a balance between protecting doctors, nurses, staff, and other patients from a pandemic and giving the individual the human contact, support, and human touch we so desperately need ... most hospitals and medical facilities pretty much ignored the needs of the individuals to protect the collective.
This is human rights abuse.
