It is nicely written and has neatly presented both sides of the public vs private argument. I also agree with your assessment points. I have a couple of thoughts: One is, the government needs to have a National Pandemic Response Repository, where adequate numbers of ventilators and PPEs are maintained. The repository should also maintain adequate quantities of all antivirals for early-stage treatments in hotspots. If it is restricted to hotspots in early stages, the quantities required may not be too high. The other is our government seems to be preternaturally incapable of coming up with good regulations and our private hospitals seem to be incapable of acting with self-restraint. Whenever the government comes out with a regulation, it always seems to be heavy-handed. On the rare occasion when they come up with reasonable regulations like the pricing of Covid-19 tests in private hospitals, our courts don’t seem to like it. To ensure a good balance in regulation, the regulatory authority needs to have some private representation maybe from hospitals in the private sector that are not too avaricious. Overall, I really enjoyed reading it.
