It's a tragic irony that the sector hit hardest by covid is healthcare. Not that healthcare isn't hypertrophied in some ways, but one person's hypertrophy is another person's essential care. My company is projecting up to a billion loss this year (on $5 billion of projected revenue, so a giant loss) depending how the second half of the year goes, and they've already furloughed 10% of their workforce. I feel annoyed instead of inspired by those hero signs all my neighbors have on their lawns.
