Ali, the national emergency is basically for health care providers so they can treat the sick much quicker. It really does not have anything to do with the public other than if it gets really bad, you will be treated in the quickest manner possible. To put it point blank, it eliminates red tape that hopitals must follow. It does not mean we are in a state of emergency(panic as some call it). If there are many, many sick at one time and that includes you, do you want to "wait" to get treated, or do you want to get treated very quickly? I would rather get treated quickly. If the hospital is full with the very sick, I would much rather go to my local school, not have to bother filling out tons of paper work and get my meds and go back home to my nongermy home. Leave the hospitals to very sick and treat those that aren't as sick at schools, townhalls, churches, and where ever else.
