I don’t like it either, but it is what it is.
Spot on, my bro-in-law is a surgeon, and they cut his pay 20% due to a lack of revenue from elective surgeries. (He’s not hurting, still makes more than most 777 skippers...). He said that when he does go in (they actually want him to stay home as much as possible) beds are somewhat empty for a potential overflow of patients. The country will reopen, things will get back to normal, life will go on. People need to turn the news off and go for a walk in the nice spring weather. I acknowledge that many sit at a lesser seniority than I, and therefore have a more interest in seeing things happen more quickly. To that, I really don’t know how to respond, not in your shoes.
