About Dentistry, at least in Pennsylvania:
So the initial order from the governor, quite appropriately, was NO treatment that was not emergency was to be rendered. To be specific: major infections that would not be immediately responsive to antibiotic therapy, bleeding issues, severe intractable pain associated with a tooth or impacted wisdom tooth. That’s about it. Lost temporaries, decay, anything involving replacement of missing teeth is off the table, as it should be.
Now however, a new mandate has been issued that unless you can provide hospital-grade negative pressure treatment rooms, full gowning and full discarding and changing between patients, and other strict stipulations, we are NOT PERMITTED to see even the emergencies stipulated above. Failure to follow this may result in license suspensions/revocations. Thus that would be career-ending at worst and highly frightening at best.
I have no choice in the matter. The group which purchased my practice and for whom I work have closed my office and thus I have no decisions to make. I would State that I have no idea how hospitals, most of which have little or no dental resources, will cope. If anyone here thinks that you can’t die from a routine dental infection you’d be mightily mistaken. It IS GOING TO HAPPEN. Without question.
This goes to one of my earlier posts about increased morbidity and mortality with this Coronavirus superimposed on ordinary, as it were, sickness and pathology. And dental is NOTHING in comparison with cardiac, cancer, autoimmune, and all other entities for which many millions are in complex treatment. It’s going to be a rough ride over a long haul.

I take liver and kidney blood tests every three months and certainly don’t recommend anyone taking that high a dose without consulting their doctor.
Thanks for the Tylenol tip, I’ll ask my doc and see if I can lower my ibu dosage!
