released from medical care

That right there is a problem - they were 'released' which tends to mean they were in some way detained prior to release.

 

This is why there will never be any mass tourism again, at least until this policy disappears completely.

i guess there is no real impact if you only broadcast the number of deaths .....zero, the big fat 0.
