If medical boot camps are as effective as Javascript boot camps... you may want to wait a while before exposing yourself to other people's germs.

This line made me both laugh and cry a little.

This is an incredibly bad faith argument. There is a whole lot of room between a 6 week bootcamp and a 12 year medical program. I'm pretty confident someone would learn to treat Covid patients in 2 years.

edit: your comment did make me laugh though. So perhaps you were just going for humor, in which case you succeeded and I apologize for being a wet blanket.

So, the initial job will get done, but please don’t look under the covers, and please do not attack it with anything infectious?

Might be better than having nothing, in the case of ICUs being overwhelmed and overcapacitied.
