I'm surprised they get enough business in that state even in non-crisis situations.

I think the OP is making this up. I tried to find an article about this on google, and couldn't find one.

The ADA has recommended closing for the next three week but the ADA has no authority over what a dentist does. Is that what you're talking about? I haven't seen anything mandating closures. Gonna need a link baw.

I had a cleaning appt at 9:30 this morning
They called me at 7:44 this morning to cancel
I told her I was surprised it hadn’t already been done, she said they were waiting on a statement from the ADA which came out last night
They are rescheduling all hygiene appts & staying open for emergencies only

I’m sure if you googled you could find ADA statement

Yeah, the government types get a check no matter what. The rest who count on private enterprise have been thrown out w/ no regard.
