    So a garage owner thinks people should still get their cars fixed. This isn't about science.

    The irony

    Two businessmen think people should flock to their clinic. Stop the presses!
    They’re a couple of ER docs, you goddamned imbecile. They don’t get paid more for voluming out their clinic.
    Medicine isn't a business? Who knew? They do own the clinic.
    Wow. With a clever mind like yours, you must be devastating on cross-examination.

    Is this where you realize how stupid your comment was and flip a coin between pivoting your argument or digging your obtuse heels in?

    Neither of those guys have anything to gain by more people getting sick. ER docs are salaried HCPs, who work shifts for their hospital employer and clock in/out. They aren’t private practice neuro surgeons working off of fee per service. They have negative incentive to see more ambos rolling in with flu patients.

    I doubt any businessman who wants to do more business hopes more of his customers get sick. The two doctors own the clinic. Their business is down. What part of free enterprise confuses you most?

    Once again. ER docs are just that. Emergency docs. If they own their own clinic, then they contract out on a fee per shift basis with local HCS. They do t get paid more if more sick people come through the doors. They don’t have a specialty clinic that people come to for electives. There is very little incentive for them to lie.

    You don’t know how this works, so probably best to just shut your pie hole for a few minutes while the adults talk and maybe you’ll get desert and an extra 20min before bedtime.

    The doctors should never have assumed that the patients they tested — who came for walk-in COVID-19 tests or who sought urgent care for symptoms they experienced in the middle of a pandemic — are representative of the general population, said Dr. Carl Bergstrom, a University of Washington biologist who specializes in infectious disease modeling. He likened their extrapolations to “estimating the average height of Americans from the players on an NBA court.” And most credible studies of COVID-19 death rates in reality are far higher than the ones the doctors presented.

    Oh so you’ve decided to pivot then. Got it. Have a nice day, counselor.
