Yup, were going to feel a pinch from our private payers. But government pays most of our bills, and they just scrapped together 2 trillion. They can find some more too I bet. 

Comically myopic is thinking there is some sort of market approach to this pandemic. Maybe you belong on that blue ribbon commission with Jared and the guy who cant stay awake in his meetings.

Myopia, comic or not, is believing every other social value should be subordinated to the battle against C-19. I'm sure you know that suicide and divorce rates are directly correlated with unemployment percentages? And I don't think anyone has ever traced the degree to which mental illness and related ills are exacerbated by extensive social distancing. It's never been done before.

Plus those funds that the government 'scrapes up' are actually generated by commercial transactions on large scale, which commerce is at a standstill. 

So there IS a trade off, even if you restrict the metric to o health alone (ignoring quality of life issues, which is actually absurd).

It's a pretty prosaic point, so I am surprised at the resistance.
