). Not only could they be important to the future delivery of healthcare, but if we had a more reasonable approach now, we’d also have more medical experts available in the current crisis.
The Times editorial board pointed out on Sunday that the COVID-19 pandemic caught the government by surprise but also exposed, such as lack of paid sick time for low-wage workers and an unemployment system that could be reconfigured to keep workers attached to their jobs, allowing businesses to ramp back up more quickly as the economy recovers.
