Hi Alex,
ReplyDeleteWhile reading your post, one opportunity that stuck out to me was the one about the problems doctors are going to be facing in the future. I agree that they are going to have to take more protective measures to ensure that their patients don't contract the coronavirus. You mentioned that nurses are taking peoples' temperatures before they enter the doctor's office. I have also heard that some doctor's offices are starting to do all of their appointments over the internet. Whether that is a good solution is yet to be determined. Overall, this is a problem that we will face for a while, and it is a great opportunity for all of us to do something in order to make the lives of healthcare workers and the sick better.
