My gf in Colombia said that healthcare workers are being told by certain groups not to go to the hospital or they will be killed. They are writing that stuff outside their doors and buildings.
- HarryHirsch 6y agoWhat do these "groups" hope to achieve by crippling the healthcare system? Do they want to keep Coronavirus off their turf by driving healthcare workers of their turf or something else? These people are normally rational. Some piece of context is missing.

- HarryHirsch 6y agoOn the other hand, there are reports of Coronavirus spreading through a building through the air conditioning, and it's a fact that presymptomatic people can be infectious, consequently you really may not wish to live in the same building as an emergency physician or nurse these days. Their work still deserves recognition, but meanwhile quarantine on the hospital grounds might be a wise move.
- Razengan 6y ago> These people are normally rational. I doubt that. Crises surface suppressed flaws (and strengths), not usually create new ones. People who would threaten anyone with "you will be killed" for anything, got there before the crisis.
- maximente 6y agothat's intense. here in medellin there are several tenants in our building (estrato 4, so not uber wealthy) begging the health care workers that do live here to temporarily live elsewhere or stop working, mostly bc there are a lot of elderly people that live here and a single unavoidable set of stairs that everyone has to use.
