There are countless people available to staff positions, but hospitals won't hire them. The only departments being supported is ER and Intensive Care.
In addition, I hear about an ever increasing number of people who needed operations that got canceled, so they die instead. Can't see why all the panic over a virus with an almost 4000 year history, when there are people with obvious and diagnosed illnesses that can't get treated.

WTF?
That is not happening here! Nothing elective has been put on hold. Other than PPE for staff returning to more strict protocol, visitors are limited to 1.
We are truly understaffed, not at all due to lay offs. Unfortunately, many of our staff have come to the realization they can stay at home and get paid by the government NOT to work and if they are renter NOT pay their rent!!
I 100% agree the government is making this far worse than it needs to be. The ONLY option is to keep things open, and if you sadly fall into the high risk category, stay safe and stay home, mask up or go about your normal life and
