Mike Kraft, 

I am torn about publishing this article in the U.S. Resilience System and California Resilience System.  Although it appears to be true, and a strong indication of the seriousness now of the health system damage from COVID-19, I am ambivalent about what this message gives to the public, especially in California, and LA in particular. 

Let’s see if any of the RAC team wants to weigh in before we make a decision to publish to the cover page, or just to workgroups and FAC Teams focused on Health System Resilience, Emergency Response, Transportation, Medical Care, Triage, Medical Surge, and Mass Casualty Care, …

Perhaps, we should hear first from Stef Fletcher (a critical care nurse in LA) and Scott Layne (an infectious disease doc in LA), if they want to weigh in.
