CoronaVirus

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.

Part of what makes this situation so unpleasant is there is no good answer for how best to deal with it. No matter what you do, you create disaster.

Social distancing works to reduce the spread of the illness - it also creates an economic impact that we still have not yet totally grasped. The pressure on the unemployed has to be absolutely tremendous. Yet to simply open the floodgates and allow free employment again risks transmission, not just in the workplace, but with everyone with whom you have contact.

I take it very seriously. I also admit I don't have answers, and I would not willingly be the governor of any state right now.
