Hi, I'd like to introduce you to Fort Meade, Maryland as well as many other US military NBC Warfare units and facilities, including protocol for working with FEMA and the CDC for mass outbreaks, including extensive drills and exercises in everything from doing house to house sweep and clear looking for dead, infected, or survivors, creating blockades and maintaining them while getting shipping through, and many many other interesting activities.
Sure, its budget was slashed heavily under Clinton and then Obama, but it's still there, the protocol still exists, the units still undergo training, and the equipment is all sitting there.
The LEAST of which is positive pressure system tents and negative pressure isolation units.
Also most hospitals in the US can turn their entire emergency department into an ICU if needed. Some newer ones can turn the entire med/surg unit into an ICU.
We're not China.
