Literally Thousands of Doctors

Cites a letter signed by 600 physicians.

There are over 1 million practicing physicians in America.

So you got 0.06% of them. And you think that's some smoking gun.

It's dumb to say there are over 1 million physicians in America as an argument because they obviously haven't all spoken about this. You have to compare apples to apples, so how many people support the quarantine vs. those who don't.

Well we don't have a letter of support signed by 999400 physicians because they're busy doing their jobs.

Lots of reports about this. Over a million since May and has only grown since then. "Heroes" used to work here.

And almost all were temporary when places stopped doing elective procedures. Elective procedures are back, and guess what, so are the jobs.
