I think the question now is whether there is going to be any real business in the entire system during the stay at home order phase. As a doctor, one may be exempt as an essential provider. But there are so many other people and venues that will be impacted. Will the medical unit be able to stay open? Will the attorneys offices, with all the staff involved in day-to-day operations, continue to conduct business? How many offices will essentially be closed due to lack of security, management, parking, etc.? What about the insurance adjusters? What about the court reporters? So, I guess it comes down to whether work comp evaluations, depositions, and sadly, even treatment, will cease to exist for the time being. Also, on a different, but related note, with the insurance company staff staying at home, I can’t see how any payment checks could be provided to any of the parties.
