LINK Some doctors fighting the pandemic now have another thing to worry about - CNN
For months Dr. Jinendra Satiya has faced fears on the frontlines of a deadly pandemic, treating coronavirus patients.
But now the doctor, on a fellowship at a Boston hospital, is facing a new anxiety: that new immigration restrictions could make it harder for him to stay in the country.
Satiya is one of thousands of foreign doctors who came to the United States on a visa that recently landed in the Trump administration's crosshairs.
A proposed rule could make it more difficult to renew J-1 exchange visitor visas, which allow scholars, doctors and others to live temporarily in the US while they study or receive training.
On the surface, it may sound like a small bureaucratic move. But Satiya and organizations representing doctors across the country warn it could affect medical care for Amjericans at a time when the country needs resources to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

Is it just my weird imagination or the longer the pandemic lasts, and health care and insurance is reduced, the number of non-productive, poor, entitlement people will stop being a drain on the economy!

Yeah. We waited too long. They should have been gotten rid of long ago. Then their kids wouldn't have been born either. So, this pandemic is a good thing?
@PondartIncbendog I don't know for sure, but if it's god's will, why should we interfere? That seems to be our governing leaders response
So, knowing drump, I expect mass deportations by next Tuesday......
