Losing Doctors in a pandemic is a recipe for disaster. Protecting them, even if they are having to protect themselves, seems like a good idea to me.
YMMV, of course.

Come to think about it the 20,000 cases on New York city mean di blasio only has roughly another 8 million to test.
I found a little info on the Hancock Co. cases; they listed their first death today: There were 4 more positives added today, also; making a total of 8 cases. Greenfield area.
...
The health department said in a news release Tuesday (3.24) that the individual was over the age of 60 with underlying health conditions. health department received the individual’s test results on Tuesday, after they had passed away. On Tuesday morning, the state health department raised Hancock County’s total of positive COVID-19 cases to four as of 11:59 p.m. Monday. Baker said neither of the four are elderly. Earlier this week, she said the county’s first three recorded positive COVID-19 cases are isolating at home, and said Tuesday the department is still in the investigation phase on the fourth case.

Has No Life - Lives on TB
Conflating "Pampered Politicians" with Doctors seems to me to be disingenuous, at best.
We are going to be working through many, many issues regarding the response to this crisis; seems pretty clear to me, and a few others, that protecting the people who can save other's lives may be a reasonable trade off.
If we were at war, and there was a limited supply of a prophylactic treatment for disease, would you be willing to treat the troops before citizens?
Aren't we in effect at war with this contagion?
It's also clear that various reports have indicated that Medical Organizations have prioritized their patients 'feelings' over the safety of their workers, (blocking the use of PPE which might 'upset' patients) which is simply insane. So med pros are trying to protect themselves? More power to 'em.

WOW: NY Gov Cuomo updated an executive order Monday to block pharmacists from filling prescriptions for the drug hydroxychloroquine for any uses not approved by the FDA. That means this NY doctor who successfully treated 350 patients w/ COVID19 can no longer prescribe the drug.

I give up.
The last I heard Tom man there were TEN THOUSAND HOMELESS IN NEW YORK CITY AND THEY TESTED 30. OH, di blasio is really on the ball here.
Well, letting them all know testing is available might be one problem.
Them wanting to get tested is another.
They really don't want much to do with us in the meat world.
And you've got to dig them out of wherever their hidey holes and burrows are. Not an easy feat.
I mean, most of them probably don't text, you know.
Brilliant move!!!! Great job.

I don't have an issue with the doctors writing the prescriptions.
They aren't doing it to support a drug habit. Nanny state laws, anyway. Otherwise, regular people are saving the leftovers of old prescriptions, or going to All Day Chem, or getting fish meds (I may just be the only person on this board who has purchased and used fish meds for actual fish!). Are those options technically legal? I doubt it. You can care if you want to. I'd rather see the doctors fully prepped with they need.
Illegal does not necessarily equal immoral.
Perhaps start with "Some team members are not performing at an acceptable level and the following persons are no longer in a position of authority - Head of the CDC"

But Obama gave them all cell phones, and they for sure know where all the system places that feed them are
They will get tested if they want to and interact with the system as much as they want to. Many of them want little, if anything to do with the system, but my read is di blasio is making some noises about the "homeless" but nobody gives a #%^^ a out them. Still even portland is doing better than New York city is so. My gut is telling me between system incompetence, being overwhelmed and not committing the kind of resources to it well the homeless will die in large numbers. After all, given the large numbers of NYPD and other first responders sick, or just calling off who will look for them and risk near certain infection? Finally, di blasio has NO RELATIONSHIP WITH FIRST RESPONDERS AT ALL THEY DESPISE HIM AND HIS FRUITCAKE BS AND THE HOMELESS WILL BE LEFT TO THEIR OWN DEVICES.
Damn I don’t see any reference to a limit on Starbucks...
I think I would move back to the family farm...

Students at multiple Florida colleges test positive for the coronavirus
More college students across Florida have tested positive for COVID-19, a disease brought on by the coronavirus, the schools announced over the weekend.
The latest case is at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, which delivered the news in an email to students and faculty Sunday. Four days earlier, the school sent out a notice that an employee on the USF Tampa campus had tested positive for the virus, after coming into direct contact with 13 students.
Meanwhile, the University of Florida updated its website Sunday afternoon to show 10 students and one employee had tested positive at the Gainesville school. And the University of Tampa on Saturday announced five additional cases linked to spring break travel, bringing the school’s total number of student cases to six.
"The student is being monitored by the Florida Department of Health Pinellas County office and based on its assessments, there is no need for further contact-tracing at the university for this case,” Currall wrote.
UF officials will continue to update the website each day, the school said on Twitter: “Each new entry will include as much info as possible according to student, employee and patient confidentiality laws.”
All three schools have said the Department of Health is monitoring the affected students. Questions posed to the department were not immediately answered.

And the University of Tampa on Saturday announced five additional cases linked to spring break travel, bringing the school’s total number of student cases to six.
The student at USF, who has not been identified, hasn’t visited campus since “late February,” according to the email by university president Steve Currall. The school did not release the student’s age, gender or field of study, and did not specify whether the case is travel-related.
"The student is being monitored by the Florida Department of Health Pinellas County office and based on its assessments, there is no need for further contact-tracing at the university for this case,” Currall wrote.
The count at UF includes undergraduate, graduate and law students in various fields of study. The sole employee to test positive works in the College of Veterinary Medicine, according to the website.
UF officials will continue to update the website each day, the school said on Twitter: “Each new entry will include as much info as possible according to student, employee and patient confidentiality laws.”
Five of the UT students traveled together for spring break, along with other students from the school, according to a Facebook post by the school. The university did not specify where the students traveled but said only four returned to campus afterward. All are self-isolating and none have been hospitalized, the post said.
All three schools have said the Department of Health is monitoring the affected students. Questions posed to the department were not immediately answered.

Since when does anyone have control over that besides the FDA?
Yeah, let em' die because the drug doesn't have the proper recognition of the FDA. You know, the FDA that is bought and paid for by large corporations so that they can rip people off charging way more here than anywhere else.
Seriously present people with the facts, both pro and con, and let them chose which path to take.

Bahrain says drug touted by Trump as
coronavirus treatment working on its patients
Clinical Tests of Hydroxychloroquines to Fight COVID-19 in Bahrain prove successful
Bahrain has already successfully used the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine that President Trump has touted as a possible treatment for the coronavirus – as researchers race to find a vaccine.
The Kingdom of Bahrain's Supreme Council of Health chairman recently said his country was among the first to use the drug and that its impact has been "profound," according to the Bahrain News Agency.
Dr Shaikh Mohamed, who leads the National Taskforce for Combating COVID-19, was also quoted by the news agency as saying hydroxychloroquine was administered according to the same regimens as those used in China and South Korea.
The first COVID-19 case in Bahrain was reported on Feb. 21, and hydroxychloroquine was first administered to patients showing virus symptoms on Feb. 26.
Bahrain has 419 deaths as a result of the virus, behind Croatia with 442 deaths worldwide, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Research Center.
Hydroxychloroquine is used to prevent and treat malaria and is administered to patients with rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
Since the outbreak of the virus, Bahrain has imposed severe restrictions on travel and gatherings and had its national currency disinfected.

But what's your point? Those 300,000 were not random tests. They were people with symptoms who were tested to see if they have the virus. To extrapolate those tests to the whole country is silly. Yes, we know there are infected people with no symptoms.
