[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who is a hospitalist and has worked with Covid patients. She predicts 3 years before schools can reopen and have a normal life back. I was surprised by that but she would know better than me what to expect. [/quote]

The physicians I know share the two to three year time frame.  The big elective surgeons who do cardiac and plastic surgery are doing fine but the orthopedic surgeons are not making money because no one wants to risk Covid recovering from a knee replacement in a rehab hospital.  [/quote]
So what? Even people with MDs behind their names have opinions and agendas like any other human. Most of them don’t know any more about infectious disease or epidemiology than a criminal lawyer knows about antitrust law. Most experts are not saying that schools won’t reopen for 3 years. [/quote]

That’s right.   They share an opinion just like you did.  Just as a criminal lawyer and an antitrust lawyer share a basic background in constitutional law, physicians share a basic background in medicine. I would pay more attention to the opinion of an orthopedist on Covid than a lawyer.  [/quote]
Sure, if their opinions weren’t extremist and whacky and in contradiction to what the epidemiologists are saying? Three more years of no school? Really? Doctors can be whackos too you know. [/quote]
