Hospitals have been banned from performing elective surgery in order to free up space and personnel for covid patients. But the patients never appeared in overwhelming numbers. Hospitals are going broke and are laying off doctors, nurses and support personnel. They need to get back to work doing elective surgeries to get that revenue to keep the doors open. There's also a lot of people in pain waiting for knee replacements, etc. Hospitals need to be re-opened so they can get back on their feet financially.
According to our neighbor who's wife is pregnant, he was given guidance including a link to a YouTube video on having his wife give birth at home. He says they have backed off on that now.
