When this thing first hit all elective surgery in my hospital was put on hold. The physical therapy department was shut down and the people working in that department were reassigned to other duties so as not to lose their jobs.

We had physical therapists cleaning patient rooms, working as patient transporters and working in dietary. Only emergency surgeries were being preformed and no visitors were allowed. "Political optics''? No. It was done because no one was sure what this thing was. There was no Operation Warp Speed yet. Every hospital was in effect running blind. "Code Toad''. Yeah I know who you are. If memory serves me right aren't you one of the ''Lost Causers''? . I've avoided you in the past and and now I know why. So you ''f off''.

“It was done because no one was sure what this thing was.”

So they continued banning elective surgeries after two years?? Your excuse just fell apart.
