The hospitals here are empty and laying off in significant numbers. Most people are sick, and then they recover.

hospitals in some states are more empty than usual because hospitals haven’t been performing elective or non essential medical services to limit the spread of covid in the medical system. It’s really not hard to understand when you look at it that way but I’m also married to a doctor so I get more real word info than fox , cnn or Facebook provide. I don’t like it either, but it is what it is.

I understand that, but there has to be a balance in how many lives we are saving and how many we are destroying, and that balance is way screwed up.

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.

Wrong, luck. Take back 14 years seniority at TSA and see where that has you.

Seniority at a legacy/LCC. Anyone that willingly hangs around a regional that long has only themselves to blaim.
