    No, the government should be taking care of it’s people. That’s literally it’s only job. Sitting on money while people are dying is a complete failure of government, and at that point it should be replaced.

        How many people do you know with the power or means to run hospitals or fund research into curing diseases? That’s what taxes are for, and that’s the only scale that works for something as big as a pandemic, or country/province-wide healthcare in general.
