Many of us have differing oponions on this issue.....which is completely understandable.
But we all love the Dawgs
We all appreciate what @JeffSentell @MikeGriffith @Kconnorriley and all the great posters bring us.
We are all desperate for a Natty
We all want this to be over with as soon as possible and hope all of Dawgnation members stay safe
AND WE ALL HATE THE GATORS
This I am certain of.....
Well Said. It's okay to have different opinions. I worry our country is becoming intolerant of diversity of thought. I value what has been said by everyone in this thread even if it's not how I see things.
Becoming? You mean it could get worse?
Yep, and the other thing people fail to grasp is that the point of this exercise was never to prevent infections. The goal was to slow the incidence rate so that Hospitals wouldn’t be overwhelmed. Without a vaccine, the same number of infections will still occur after we reopen. Medicine now appears better equipped, with several promising treatments and more ventilators for the sick.
I don’t know the answers, but I do know hospitals all over the country are empty and laying off medical workers due to lack of business. Odd.
"Hospitals all over the country are laying off workers"? **** are you talking about. You're very big on "examples". Care to share even one?
That actually is happening. It's not from being empty though. They're running out of money in some places
Edit: hospitals have stopped doing elective procedures to limit spread of COVID. Elective procedures are where hospitals make a good portion of their money, so they are having to layoff and furlough workers in a lot of places from lack of revenue. Even hospitals with lots of Covid patients are struggling financially since they lose about $3000 per patient.
Sure, wise guy. My niece is a nurse at a hospital in Chattanooga. Her hours have been reduced to about 20 per week. They are DEAD. Empty beds all over the place. A VA nurse shared with me that they were also at less than capacity. I have a friend who works in organ donations here in Atlanta. She shared with me that the affected cities, like Atlanta, are pretty full. Different story everywhere else. Another buddy is married to nurse anesthetist. She is barely working. I had a customer yesterday who is in medical sales. I spoke to her about this issue and she confirmed - hospitals outside of the affected big cities are dead and cutting labor. Maybe watch less CNN and MSNBC.
"Wise guy"? Nice.
Busy hospitals are running out of money? That’ll be the day. I actually know people. What I said about empty beds is true. Businesses with lots of customers don’t “run out of money.” This is especially true with an overpriced service provider such as a hospital.
Might want to take another "chill pill"?
It's because most hospitals (not just ones in hard hit areas) have stopped doing elective procedures. No elective procedures means less money. Even hospitals with lots of covid cases are losing thousands of dollars per patient.
My wife works in CT at Kennestone in Marietta. They are sending people home early every shift. They are all expected to give up 4 hours a week. She said xray has to cut 40 hours per week. She said Doctors and nurses are working less as well.
