Yes it takes over 100 people to staff the OR. Or any department in any hospital. We are a close knit department that loves what they do, and will take the risk to do it. We are not heroes, just doing our job, most of us over 40 plus years.
Have you forgotten all of the essential workers living in TV that leaves their home, so you can have groceries, or staff the testing sites. Their circle is much bigger than 100.
Yet they leave their home so you can stay in yours.

Thank you for clarifying. I had no idea that it took over 100 people to staff an operating room.
I thank you for your dedication and service and I thank Orange Blossom Baby for hers.
Your phrase " Yet they leave their home so you can stay in yours", makes me pause and wonder just exactly what you mean by that.
Did I/we do something wrong again? I was trying to explain, along with many others on this thread that we have limited our social circle to the people in our home, and my husband plays golf, his includes his golf group who we thought were safe outdoors and distanced.
Most people have self preservation as a motivating force but many have more than saving their own skinny necks. Many people who post on here are at higher risk of dying and there are many of their children and grandchildren who love them very much and would be heartbroken to lose them to Covid-19. Those people and friends are cheering them on to stay safe. Some of us even think that by trying to avoid others we are protecting more people than just ourselves.
I am sure that is what you meant too. We all owe you both an enormous debt of gratitude for the risks you take on the behalf of all of us. And Orange Blossom Baby too. We were worried and concerned you might be sick when you weren't posting.
