DOD held a press briefing today.
Made a point of reminding people the US military medical treatment apparatus is configure to treat battlefield trauma, not infectious diseases.
It’s US based healthcare system is designed with a younger patient make up in mind.
Hospital ship’s stacked medical wards are far from what is called for when treating/isolating infectious patients
Calling up National Guard/Reserve medical units will more than likely pull care providers from facilities already facing heavy burdens
