Don't think sheltering in place matters to your health? An overloaded health care system wouldn't just mean COVID-19 patients waiting for treatment -- it could mean delays in emergency care and treatment of other urgent conditions.

Board-certified pediatricianMy dad recently had a brain bleed after tripping and falling. We called 911, and he had brain surgery that night to drain the blood in his brain. The surgical team was excellent, and within hours he was better.

Already there have been reports of doctors and nurses getting sick and testing positive for COVID-19. They are asked to stay at home and get better, which usually takes 2-3 weeks. If other health care workers have been in contact with them, they are asked to stay at home as well for 2 weeks, even if they don’t have symptoms. This happened in Italy, where 20% of the health care workforce was not available to see patients. Not enough doctors. Not enough nurses.

If not, our frontline workers, doctors and nurses will be exposed. These health care workers can infect other patients - like you and me, or if they need to be quaratined, that means fewer doctors and nurses to take care of you, me, and our families, when we are injured or sick, whether with COVID-19 or something else.
