I have to say, I'm less likely to listen to people telling me to get back to work when they were previously the same people claiming the disease was no worse than the flu, and that we should just carry on as normal because, after all, people die all the time and I'll probably get killed in a car accident anyway.

I love hearing it from people who don't even work themselves.

I think you miss the point of flattening the curve.
Look at the flattened curve - there is no spike.
No the point is not to do something stupid and have a spike.
The point is to flatten it and then move on.
People will die.

Good safety tip!

There is a touch of the General Lord Kitchener wanting to move his drinks cabinet 3 feet closer to Berlin.

It's all a balancing act.
If the hospital guys don't go back to work fairly soon, there will be a lot less healthcare in the near future.

It seems to me that where people can work from home, they should. And a lot of people can do, with a few adjustments, at least partially.
I was only joking

DING DING DING. That's likely the first place we need to open up. Strangling the health system's revenue stream will not save lives in the long run. They are also the industry most able to cope with safety measures.

I have to say, if I had a non-urgent medical appointment at this point I think I'd re-schedule whether the place was open or not.

Healthcare is hands-on. Telemedicine is good for getting prescriptions refilled. Not so much for some other things.

The news keeps talking about hospitals being overwhelmed again if we open up too fast but I don’t think the public understands that overwhelming the vast majority of hospitals have been crushed by the loss of patients. ED visits and inpatients down by 50-75% is the more common story.

Yes, you said we would have a skyrocket, then you said we would have a spike.
The whole point of the flattened curve is that we have a flattened curve - no skyrocket, no spike.
That seems pretty reasonable to me. It is based on an event that can be measured objectively. We wouldn't need a whole lot of emotion and snide remarks.
Just meet the goal. There is no time limit. Stay home and reduce the number of active cases. Then go back out. Simple and no real need to mock or accuse.

I was fine with reading the temperature, pulse rate, weight, and BP to my doctor on the TelePhysical. The prostate exam however...

I had no qualms about taking Finley to his 6-month checkup and inoculations last week. what I wasn't comfortable with was the fact that we were the only ones there. This can't be maintained.

Just find a competent prostitute. Common procedure for a jon that's too slow.
