CoronaVirus

Personally, I am sick of all this. I naturally social distance. The economy is going to hell, folks are loosing everything. Time to go back to work. The USA can't afford this much longer.

Talking to a neighbor today. She's a nurse at the local hospital. 1/4 of the staff has been laid off. Said that a lot of the other hospitals have staff laid off too.

Smart, yeah let's cut off the jobs that are probably the most essential with this sh!t….

Depends on why they were laid off I suppose. If they're unionized and don't have proper PPE, then maybe it makes sense.

Not having the proper PPE is one thing, though I'm not sure why a hospital wouldn't have this, but to lay off bc of a union? Trained and educated medical staff to save lives, but get laid off for BS situations lmao

I'll admit there's some conjecture here but I'll try to explain.
Two scenarios.
In the first, you're an RN and part of a union.
In the second, same but no union.
There's insufficient PPE resulting in a work refusal.
Which nurse will either be fired or have to quit?
Which will be laid off?
Also, many hospitals are lacking necessary PPE.

It is because of them unable to do elective surgeries from what I read. Who knows. Working for a hospital is horrible from what some RN's have told me.

I would rather be an out of work RN than an out of work engineers, jobs are easier to find

Rusty

Yep, the lack of work. My doctor's office has laid off 3/4 of his staff. Not seeing anyone in the office. Everything is by phone.

Im almost certain that dr's can charge more if they do telemedicine appointments (with video) vs over the phone.

My opinion is that China needs to be held accountable.

I do too, but what do we get for rushing back to work while the virus is still raging and untreatable. A few more weeks of paycheck before everyone either get sick or they shut it down? The waiter at the diner will still be unemployed, the restaurant will still be empty and the mall will not have enough traffic to sustain itself. You literally have the same problem as we do right now except for more sick people. You might say you won’t spread it to anybody. That’s great. Well Leslie down the street might not be as consider or as smart as you are.
