      I would tend to be of the opinion that, while extremely unfortunate, 30-ish grocery store workers dying of it is not the definition of a "widespread outbreak."

      You do know >30 deaths indicates at least >300 infections, right?

      For an MD, you don't seem to understand basic English. My observation was that there aren't WIDESPREAD outbreaks in stores, across the country, where people have continually been shopping since this was first announced. What don't you grasp about that?

      The entire country is an outbreak. Just because we don’t have the tests to confirm doesn’t mean it hasn’t infected millions. Sorry that doesn’t fit the narrative you push on local radio

      Making excuses for entirely preventable deaths isn’t what we do in medicine

      Other than those who die from medical malpractice, right?

      Fortunately, that number is extremely low. A lot of people believe it is the third leading cause of death, but that's a common myth that has been demonstrated to be totally incorrect

      Ofc. Fortunately it's a very small issue that has been significantly improved in the last few decades, and there are innumerable programs in place to improve it

          What studies have debunked it? You can just name them, I'll look them up myself. I'll be very happy if that's true.

          And if medical malpractice has gone down so much, has medical malpractice insurance also followed suit?
