Opening the economy includes Medical providers resuming treatment for non-COVID-19 problems. They are losing money, just like other parts of the economy. But they are also losing lives due to being in lockdown.

I’ve also read predictions that cancer deaths are expected to increase and that the increase may be seen over the next decade. Not only have routine screenings been delayed but some diagnostic procedures as well.
Sometimes the services just aren’t available and sometimes the patients are delaying things for fear of COVID.
Telemedicine is great in some situations, but some things have to be done in person and hands on.
