Bureaucratic Error

Don't turn around
Der Kommisar's in town
You're in his eye, and you'll know why
The more you live. the faster you will die
--After the Fire

Devastating expose of the complete public health system meltdown in New York. Focus is on hospitals and their interaction with city, state, and federal agencies. Story would have read even worse if nursing homes were included.

Mind numbing amount of finger pointing and CYA turf protecting denials. Also the constantly shifting 'guidelines' given by presumed 'authorities' on the situation.

This is textbook bureaucratic error--error that multiplies and rigidifies in times of crisis.

Those looking for cases against central planning can find a damning example right here.
