JANET LEVY: THE STATE OF HOSPITALS VIDEO INTERVIEW *****
This is a great, common sense interview with a seasoned Cedars physician who discusses the impact of the lockdown on medical care. Well worth the 18 minutes!

P.S. I just had the misfortune of spending two days in the hospital for an infection from a freak abscess. The hospital – a major L.A. medical facility – was running at less than 20% capacity with massive numbers of furloughed staff.
After multiple courses of IV antibiotics, I’m home and fine but extremely worried about the profound effect of the lockdown on our medical system.
It will be quite a while before our healthcare system will be restored. Many medical or medical-related businesses have been destroyed and may never come back online.
The number of associated deaths for lack of treatment or reticence to seek treatment is probably incalculable. Panic can be a deadly emotion! – J.L.
