I’m sure I’ll be downvoted heavily, but it seems like doctors in the US got fat and happy coasting and pulling in big checks, now they’re being called into full service and can’t the workload.
Imagine how they would be acting if they had to be field doctors in a war situation.
ETA: I do appreciate all healthcare professionals, just an observation.
There ain't no fricking doubt.
I mean when I was growing up I remember my mother getting us doctor's appts we would show up at our appt time, go straight back, talk with the doc, pay him $25-$50, and leave.
Today I go to the office at my appt time, sit in waiting room for 45 min, go to room, sit in "treatment" room for 30 min, doc comes examines me and talks for 15-20 min, pay $80-$100, and leave....helluva lot different.
When I've been in the hospital with my dad (diabetic who doesn't really take care of himself)...the nurses come in, have no people skills, basically take his temp, look at the machines, check the computer, then leave without saying a word. This all takes about 5 min tops....and hell the doctor hardly ever comes by...my dad has said he has gone 2 days without seeing a doc when he was in the hospital. I called the hospital on that one....and you know what they told me...COVID...this was in September.
So like you said now they are actually having to work with COVID patients and normal patients and they aren't happy about it. I'd believe that in a heartbeat.

Actually, the covid ICU patients mortality rate is only about 42%, while average ICU mortality rate for all causes is 52%. So the covid patients should have been much less stressful.
What is the source of this statistic?

Has staying home helped??? What has helped?
But following the guidelines and staying at home would help. This really isn't debatable.

And it'll subside until you go back out again.

It absolutely is debatable. You can't stop a fricking virus like this.

Even if covid didnt exist, we could save easily 100k plus american lives every year if people truly always followed these guidelines
That is why, logically, anyone for the covid guidelines because "they want to save lives", should be for these guidelines permanently

Yep and if he goes backwards I will not wear the mask the couple places I do out of courtesy anymore. It’s a full on battle at that point

So, when everyone was mandated to stay at home, most of the cases were from people staying at home. You cant see me, but this is my shocked face.
I dont know what you are trying to say.
No one said it stopped it, it had an effect. If 90% of people were staying at home and those people comprised 60% of cases. It was fairly effective. Not really a gotcha.

But they haven't and you don't have any proof that they did.

People who stayed home made up 2/3 of the cases - how hard is that to figure? 405 who did not stay home made up the rest. 60% bigger than 40% - how can you say staying home works.

It helps if you are sick. Not sure what it does if you are not sick.

My understanding per a poolhall/bar owner is that they had to give up the restaurant designation if they wanted to allow smoking again. And once the restaurant designation was given up, they wouldn't be able to get it back for quite a long time.
I think this is true, but I believe a law was passed in Shreveport that would ban smoking indoors, so there wasn't really much to hold onto there. I'm selfishly excited...fatty's has a KILLER bourbon collection, but it used to be a smoke cloud which is less than ideal for enjoying good whiskey in.
