Not only do LFH, and HFH…(ie telemedicine) offer opportunities to counter pandemics, they are also ripe with possibilities to reduce costs for the two of the biggest parts of federal, state, and local budgets. Clearly we as a nation will, sooner or later, be hard pressed to identify cost savings through public services, while we run huge budget deficits to save the economy.
The trick is to manage to preserve personal care by teachers and doctors/nurses, while at the same time scaling up techniques and tools that can be “mass produced”, and save costs.
The current situation allows for a lot of experimentation with projects attempting to do just that.
