If all your hospitals are empty, I have to ask what kind of hospitals do you have privileges?

The hospitals that will be getting critical patients have cut their OR sked down to 25% from their usual volume. Unfortunately a lot of transplants are taking place.

Think about that, why all of a sudden are their available organs? Maybe hospitals need beds. These are difficult times.

Did it every occur to you that there are hotspots and non-hotspots. I have also completed an extensive survey of my state. I have both extensive administrative and clinical experience.

Oh, please, we would not transplant an organ with a known infectious disease. Transplants are going up as a percentage as elective cases are being forbidden.

I am no expert but I really really don’t think they would take the organs of someone who died from this novel corona virus....let alone the fact that the deceased are mostly elderly with comordidities...
