St. Lawrence Health System in New York, Sonoma Valley Hospital in California, and Sky Lakes Medical Center in Oregon have all announced that they have been targets of ransomware attacks, even as coronavirus admissions are soaring.

Isn't it sickening that people are doing this in the middle of a global emergency, that they're trying to extract much needed cash from institutions where it is more needed

On top of that, the president is again attacking doctors. Attacking doctors!
Last Spring, when the first shortage of PPE became obvious, he said “We’re sending the hospitals plenty; maybe the doctors are selling them to line their own pockets.”
Last night he told a maskless crowd that the Covid death numbers were highly inflated, because “you know, doctors get $2,000 for every death they say was from Covid.”
I can’t even imagine what a gut punch that was to the medical staffs who are already past exhausted from their long shifts, trying to save lives, while their president accuses them of profiteering.
