I can see how this would affect offices with multiple doctors and their patient loads. The parking lots will be overwhelmed and wait times will be astronomical. Staff will be reduced due to the production drop. I doubt many doc offices will have the funds to hire a person to ask questions and take temps. Sad reality.
