Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 3399531, member: 874"] Delaying routine healthcare is unnecessary now. Doctor's offices are setting things up so that social distancing can be maintained, some are checking temperatures, and most people are wearing masks. All of my patients are high risk (home health) and any that need in person doctor appointments are going. People not seeing their doctors at this point is out of uneducated fear, not the lack of opening up. If people do things responsibly, we can open up successfully much quicker. The problem is, people are viewing the relaxation of restrictions as permission to refrain from doing what they're supposed to. Everytime I go somewhere, I see fewer people wearing masks and maintaining correct distancing. Then you have the videos on the news this weekend of huge gatherings. A ventilator won't save everyone. People being irresponsible will kill people that could have otherwise lived quite a bit longer. [/QUOTE]
