What is the medium to long-term outlook after all of this?

As we all know, ED volumes are way down and hours and pay are being slashed. Hospitals are hurting not just due to decreased ED and admission volumes, but also due to massive cuts in billing from specialists. Our orthopedic group was billing something like infinity billion dollars per month, and now it's down to like $3.50. I'd like to believe quarantines will be lifted soon and things will just go back to normal. But I'm not so sure that will happen. And I wonder what the new normal is... What is the medium to long-term outlook after all of this?
