Currently the only supported language is English. Older patients or people that are not as familiar with current technology my find this system difficult to use. There is no public data on the effectiveness of this platform. The video chats could lack the wholeness of in person visits and the online tests could be inaccurate.

The author uses a wide variety of news and journal sources to make their point. Everything from the New York Times to East Asian Science. It also cites many volumes on disaster preparedness.

The sources tell me that the article was developed around the news at the time and works that dealt with handling of disasters from the past. For me, this furthers the case that the author is making: that the way we have been doing things in the past is not working.
