Surgeon Gen'l Should Get Off His Ass...

Maybe in mid-February this was a good idea.

...The direction of the U.S. Surgeon General to postpone elective procedures and appointments comes at an underappreciated cost, Mark Grapentine, vice president of communications for WHA, told WisBusiness.com. ...

But now it's becoming fetid.

...“Our analysis shows that Wisconsin hospitals and health systems are losing at least $150 million in revenue every week,” he said. “Wisconsin hospitals carry about $275 million/week in labor expenses alone, and it’s not easy for hospitals that we count on to be there for us in our greatest times of need, to dial down the expenses of being on the front line 24/7/365.”...

So maybe the President should have a little heart-to-heart with the General.  If it comes down to it, the General could find another job.
