Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)

[Psilloh1]

And they've done it to nurses and other levels of providers as well in some places. Can healthcare workers strike and just all walk out when they get these mass pay cuts during a pandemic when hospitals are overwhelmed? Asking for a friend.

I guess they could... It’s not their nature. They actually see good in all people and genuinely want to help.

Oh of course they never would. None of the one's I know would. More of a tongue in cheek observation, because I think it's ridiculous to cut their pay, especially during this time.

I get it 75% of our OR’s are closed...

“Trump would be favored if the pandemic recedes and the economy starts to recover before the election, but persistent difficulties in getting the economy restarted could favor Biden.”

Bingo! So now you know why the Democrats want to continue mitigation...

Many hospitals are seeing revenues reduced by 80% or more. The alternative is to just close and lay everybody off unfortunately.

Oh it was tongue in cheek. Point being any other profession just about could. But people need the healthcare workers now especially more than ever. So why cut their pay? I get it, due to OR's not being in use, non essential surgeries cancelled for now, etc. But they're cutting the pay of doctor's and nurses in the ER too, who are at the heart of the fight. Seems ridiculous. So they're all working crazy hours not able to go home, but also getting paid less.

I think the article mentioned it was ER personal too that got pay cuts. It's a ****ty situation either way, but I just don't like the idea of cutting the pay of the essential front line medical staff. I totally get it that elective procedures would suffer revenue loss right now, but the ER is a busy 24/7 business even when there isn't a pandemic.
