Are We Doing Too Much to Prevent a Pandemic?

The health care system is under enormous strain right now. Health care workers are burnt out, quitting or sick at home in huge numbers. We need to solve a staffing problem that the private sector is apparently not capable of solving. And we have had enough trouble trying to win single pair all this time. What? What more modest reforms might help? I think it's worth thinking about how in other countries where the state has more of a responsibility for providing health care,. They have perhaps been more pro active in maintain a policy goal of keeping transmission levels low enough to not overload their health care systems longer term.
