I don't think that there is evidence of that other than a few antedotal
cases.  Those drugs have yet been subjected to a trial study to see if
they are effective and what the side effects might be.

In some areas the health system is well pass being overloaded.

We had exactly such a planning group, installed by the Obama
administration.  However, since it was an Obama thing -- Trump killed
it.

See above.
