My dad’s an ER doctor. He just got off of a conference call. His hospital is cutting his salary - and everyone else’s that works on the front lines - because they’re losing money from non-COVID patients.

Cutting medical personnels’ salaries right now. I mean... what the fuck?

Wow, this was really unexpected.

For those who asked, here’s some more context: My dad works for a large, for-profit healthcare company. It’s owned by a hedge fund.

From reading some of these replies, it looks like this is happening all over.

I don’t have a Soundcloud, but: If you have the means, support your local small businesses, reach out to the people you love (especially those living alone), and stay at home!
