Since these hospitals do not necessarily have adequate resources to defend against the virus, the result is that it is very possible that these hospitals will be taken out of action by SARS. With every hospital trying to protect itself, patients are being bounced around from facility to facility, and the end result is that the bigger hospitals end up overwhelmed anyway.
分散醫治，又沒有足夠的抗疫資源，使得這些醫院極有可能被 SARS「各個擊破」，而各醫院為求自保，更是暗中角力，將病患當「人球」推來推去，又使得少數大型醫學中心負擔過重。
