    Liver,

    Speaking from someone who has over a decade of medical experience including continuing my education in healthcare, there is a difference between classroom experience and clinical experience. Classroom is where you can be online. Clinical coursework you can include simulation labs to help. They won't suspend clinicals indefinitely so it's not like they will be going the year completely without clinicals. You can definitely balance the two if it comes to that.

    The real thing I'm learning from this is how marked up travel and cruise prices are. $15 plane tickets available. $200 cruises available. Now you know their bottom line to stay afloat.

    Considering full price for a round trip ticket from Atlanta to the Northwest coast runs around $700 And they pack 200+ plus on one of those planes they should have plenty in their savings acct. hahah

    No I won't. It's already happening in my podunk little County, NOW, not in the future. What you are missing is the body they are treating is not a computer no matter how it's being done. Your ignorance is stunning.

    Unfortunately you have politicians hoping for that.

    He is a physician who is board certified in three specialties. He also lectures at at least one medical school. He treats a patient population that is THE most vulnerable to this virus on a daily basis. He is one of the sharpest and most up to date docs I've ever run across. I haven't watched the vid but I KNOW Chemosabe is well up on it. He also has a good friend who is working on the virus itself at NIH.

    Wow and lol
    It depends on where they are in their training and how long the interruption is. Also, to work in this kind of thing IS what they are being trained in is it not?

    I'm speaking from over 3 decades worth. Of healthcare experience. I agree, as long as the do not cut the clinicals short in anyway. If it means they have to go to school longer then that's the way it will have to be.

    So to be clear, when Fauci says "it's going to get worse before it gets better", your message board friend disagrees with that?
