Following this incident, I’m hopeful that we become more OK with redundancies in medical supplies and capacities to the same level we see military redundancies as acceptable. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/04/03/fact-check-did-obama-administration-deplete-n-95-mask-stockpile/5114319002/

As we do this, we need to be sure to make sure we don’t repeat the excesses of military spending, as well. A healthcare-industrial complex can be as (& is in many ways) just as corroded the military-industrial complex. Attentive monitoring and adjusted risk analysis will be key.
