Your doctor sounds smart. He is likely trying to protect his immediate family from bringing home the virus...

It is what it is. The Corona virus seems to be spread without prejudice.

If I was a doctor and I was worried about not only myself but my family? Yeah I am closing shop for the duration.

Crack that whip, Master Arya. Put those slaves in their place.

People just don't get it. I really can't grasp how people could think this way. I'd bet $1M that you're a proponent of "universal healthcare." Amirite?

I'm prepared for that possibility. I see it as unlikely, but I'd get by if it happened. Same if the water stopped flowing or the gas was shut off.

How 'bout you? How prepared are you to get by, if the people you usually rely on for various things were to suddenly stop doing whatever they do?

Yeah I am there with you. Just because someone is a doc doesn't make them a slave to anyone.

You got into this job to help the sick. You knew the risks but now you don't want to play the game.

Entitled much?

I pay utility companies every month. For that matter, I pay them whether I use any electricity or not.
So that makes it kind of a different thing.
What am I going to do? ..... Switch utility companies?
