Why NOT recognize this possibility in order to gear up properly for it.
The US needs to quickly start up the DPA to provide our overworked Medical personal with enough N-95 masks and all other PPEs needed to become more successful at fighting this pandemic. Right now all of US society is NOT being patriotic and doing its share to fight back the Virus. This is a situation where you NEED big government - you can't fight a NATIONAL emergency on a state-by-state basis. The CDC asked / suggested that Americans limit their travel on Thanksgiving. 40% of Americans disregarded this Medical Science Advice and were unpatriotic and uncaring toward their fellow citizens. You can't beat the Virus by being selfish and disregarding CV. Get REAL America !!!!!!

REALITY is not a word or concept our government is aware of.
I was criticized on another thread for calling attention to what happens if our health system crashes or even gets any closer to such collapse.
I offered a sampling to headlines from across our country where hospitals just have no more room. I noted that in Texas, the National Guard was called up to work in the
morgue.
I was told I was being political, as always, but assure you that Bucco is not being political. If you feel I tell a lie then tell me what it is.
We have a serious problem, and nobody in our government seems to be talking about it as a problem.
DPA is one way to help, as we have done over the past couple years in much easier to cope with situations, but all the warning about economic problems should we do any shut downs will be so very minor if the entire healthcare industry shuts down.
