There is no decentralized free market.

… m‘kay

Nor is there a 'market mechanism' for such as a pandemic or contagion

But central government knows better how to handle these things for an appropriately determined cost?

I vehemently disagree there.

An absolute charlatan.

Yep, more green tea from Fukushima, free of charge for all that are hospitalized.

I am not inspired when the PM says he will decree how many hospital beds there shall be.

Shouldn’t these sorts of decisions be left to the decentralized free markets to decide? That’s what normally works to provide people with goods and services right?

The de-centralized free market? There is no decentralized free market. As a posit for medical services, it is basely absurd. Let alone, it belies a complete ignorance of economics and finance, along with governing policies and regulations. Nor is there a 'market mechanism' for such as a pandemic or contagion. Such does require a central authority as it is not necessarily a profit making enterprise. Certain business entities are not-for-profit, typically serving a social need or in business a trade association. However, the issue is P U B L I C H O S P I T A L S, which are funded by public monies and the incentive would be an increase in funding to provide more beds dedicated to SARSCoV-2. It would not impact private, for profit hospitals.

Seemingly, almost two years late for addressing SARSCoV-2.
