The reopening for elective surgeries is pretty old news. Several months old, as a matter of fact.

I could go on and on and provide an endless number of links supporting my statement. On a personal level, with a wife as a retired RN who maintains contact with many of her former colleagues, and a number of good friends and family members who are both doctors and nurses, each and every one of them have related to me how the initial rush has completely subsided. They are all back to seeing their "normal" cross section of patients. I find it a bit surprising that someone who presents himself as being in this industry appears so completely unaware of these developments.

I suppose, in light of that, maybe I should not be surprised that you are likewise completely unaware of the political "battle lines" that have been drawn over all of this. Apparently unique to the U.S., which is both disappointing and at the same time unsurprising, the raging political fight over this has been pretty difficult to miss. The voices of our politicians and news media have drowned out those of our medical community, at least here in the U.S. I don't have a dog in that fight, but I do find it all rather disappointing. I find it incredible that anyone following any of this even in the most cursory, detached fashion could be unaware of it.
