The whole essential vs non essential seems rather loosely defined.
I agree. The individual states are defining it. But what some states call essential others aren't.

Liquor stores are considered essential in DE. Our Governor said that the hospitals asked him to do this so that they would not have an influx of withdraw patients taking up beds. The state is on lock down till May 15th at the moment.
Yep, my wife was like wtf when they make booze essential, but she's never spent a shift caring for patients with DT's.
That was my reaction too, WTF. But I have heard that alcohol withdraw is one of the worst. Some people might turn violent which would not help anyone either.
I would agree lol. Some of the grocery stores hear have a wide variety of hours. The kroger appears to still be open until 1am. I think the others were limiting hours due to the need to restock. But maybe regular hours would minimize heavy traffic...

Besides being possibly fatal...I've seen little old men toss around much larger orderlies and patients restrained to beds attempting to rip out catheters as their lives depended on it. It's no joke.I feel like it may be a bit exaggerated. Maybe if the person is pounding liquor all hours of the day. But what do I know... lol

Same rules w liquor stores here in sweet and polite BC, Canada. Open because of concern over the dependence that most of us have.Liquor stores are considered essential in DE.

I thought, for radiology, we made our money on the ER films and that we lost/didn't make any money on the inpatient (routine) films. But again, I don't know the financial state hereIf they've stopped elective procedures and outpatient lab and rad have slowed, they are losing money. Those are profit centers. ER's are giant cash burning machines. Since retiring, I've worked at one hospital that actually made money with their ER and the hospital was in an affluent area with high rates of health insurance coverage. Other than that, ER's are huge money losers for hosptitals.
I'm seeing that you can reuse N95 masks if you bake them at 158 deg F for 2 hours. Also, 2 layers of instrument wrap can be made into a mask and provides N99 levels of protection. In our area, people are sewing cloth masks to cover the N95 masks to keep them from getting soiled and masks with pouches to hold sheets of instrument wrap. The federal government isn't coming to the rescue here, so we're going to have to get creative.
All the local breweries and wineries are boosting their delivery presences. And all of the food delivery apps, even via mainstream restaurants are offering booze delivery.The booze is no joke. As sad as it seems, my local liquor store shut down their website because there were too many orders and their website site was crashing. They were 4 days behind pulling orders. "Hi, I'd like to place an order for pick up. Sure, we'll have that ready for you in 4 days." They had to employ a bouncer to regulate in store traffic!
lol...I've been youtubing "How to cut your own hair"......I think I'd have scary results. Need one badly and should have gotten it when things first kicked off...now I'm definitely not going in.
Xfinity at home and no throttling here. Where I work was definitely NOT set up to work remotely, as that's always been frowned upon....until now ironically. The govt NEC has manually shut down all non-necessary sites too (youtube, etc) for obvious reasons, so no-go from govt laptops.
