Ok...
1) The key word is "may". That means it hasn't happened. It "may" happen. Interchange "could", or "might", and the science goes out the window....
2) Do you think that this would ACTUALLY happen? Seriously?
Or, do you think they'd air evac (or ambulance) an infected patient over to the next nearest hospital for treatment like they do in so many other rural hospitals without the staff, equipment, and expertise to handle the situation ?

We're at an impasse then, because you're refusing the possibility of my "mays," and asking me to accept yours. I'm not going to play like that. Statistics only work well when describing past data sets and become less effective at predicting future ones; hence confidence intervals and the conclusions "reject," and "fail to reject."
