I was working in healthcare IT during the Ebola epidemic and I remember being in the middle of Bumsville, Nowhere and even we were sitting there worrying about the potential things that could happen if it hit our community. I remember the staff running Ebola drills with 'fake patients' that would slip into the ER registration flow to make sure they were immediately containing the person and everyone that would have to work with them. Three alarm fires sounded with funny men and women in funny suits to come whisk you away to isolation... And then COVID happened... and man that response was just so sadly different. If only... if only.
