It's actually refreshing to hear comments from people across the country that don't seem to agree in the least with the sensationalized media stories that you hear on a daily basis. I suspect those media stories are predominately from one area....New York. I just opened my wife's eyes after she read many of your comments.
I have friends who are ER doctors and nurses. Shit was CRAZY a few weeks ago.
Hospitals are more prepared now.
Its also crazy that people in the medical field are telling me that they are either getting furloghed or a major droppage of hours.
Hopefully we are ALL back to normal much sooner than later

Why would hospitals be laying off thousands of workers if they are all overwhelmed? Wouldn't this be an all hands on deck situation?
A mounting casualty of coronavirus crisis: Health care jobs
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Tens of thousands of medical workers across the United States are suddenly out of work as operating rooms and doctor’s offices go dark, casualties of urgent calls to prioritize coronavirus patients at overwhelmed hospitals and of the economic waves the crisis is churning.
Even as hospitals scrounge for professionals from the industry to treat the burgeoning numbers of people with COVID-19, others are on the sidelines as elective procedures, diagnostics and appointments are canceled or postponed.
For instance, many nurse anesthetists in Pennsylvania have been laid off, even though they are particularly critical to the coronavirus response because they can help intubate patients and manage them on ventilators.
“I certainly never thought there would be a day as a nurse that I would be filing for unemployment, so it’s quite surreal for all of us,” said Jess Poole, a nurse anesthetist who, until a couple weeks ago, worked for an anesthesia practice in the Pittsburgh area.
