I do agree that things could spiral quickly if a significant number of healthcare personnel get infected but there are also several other important elements of society that this can be said for like Police and potential of civil unrest or something affecting our food and water supply. If you live in NYC for example, you are much more likely to be impacted by this than the rest of the US.

I've got several nurses and a doctor in my family in the metro area of KC. It's been slow for them but they are expecting things to change in a week or two. We still won't be affected like some of the bigger cities like LA, NYC etc.
