As you've pointed out, they can in some places. However this is not a one size fits all situation. Different localities need to make prudent choices depending on local circumstances. The prudent way forward for NYC is not necessarily prudent for Fargo ND or Bumfuck Egypt.why can't they go back to work in non covid areas? They are allowing hospitals to work on elective surgeries nowSooner or later. But the thing is, we don't want to expose all of them to the possibility of becoming sick at once. We need to have a reserve of medical professionals. Some of them need to stand down and stay home right now in case the ones on the front line get wasted.UM. Does that mean all the people laid off from the hospitals will need to go back to work ?I think you may be missing the whole point of efforts to flatten the curve. The virus is eventually going to infect damn near everyone. We just don't want so many people sick at the same time that it overwhelms our hospitals.View attachment 341231
I wonder of space aliens transported it to earth by UFO to wipe out humans?? ...
And yes, flattening the curve necessarily means lengthening it. Prolonging it.
We just need to watch out for power hungry 'never let a crisis go to waste' authoritarian Democrats using this pandemic as an excuse to go all out Hitleresque/Stalinesque putting their sadistic jackboots on the neck of the population to trample our hard-won civil rights into oblivion.
