The Opening Back Up Thread

A central repository for interesting tidbits related to opening back up.

Ohio hospitals say electives can resume with enough testing and PPE. It has a phased approach as in the article. I'd say listen to the hospitals - they are the ones who stand to collapse if opening is not done carefully.

Seems like 85% of the cessation of elective procedures was about saving PPE. Outside of the outbreak centers anyway.

Yes. But less was known at that time and it seemed prudent.

[jon-nyc]

It was prudent on the PPE front alone.

Still might be, depending on how supplies are doing.

Use them or lose them.

Yep. As the nuns at St. Francis were fond of pointing out, no money, no mission.
