Consumer behavior?

That has become an oxymoron.

Being #1 doesn't just happen. It takes focus and dedication to stay at the top.

Short version: None, just suggestions for most states.
We got a reattach tooth to a partial Friday, P/ and the tooth just put in a baggie, no disifectant, and the tooth still had food on it.....GRR!!!!
Infection control charge added!!!

I was at the county fair last week, in a barn with probably 300+ people, maybe a half dozen had masks on. No outbreak as of yet.. Youre more likely to get a traffic citation here than the virus.. 21 active cases in a county of 45k people.. The virus has been here since at least february.. and still only around 200 total cases. Stores are packed, dentists are booked out 5 weeks. Ive been waiting for 8 months for it to 'hit' .. so what am I missing..

its busier than ever before here. the last month especially has picked up in a most dramatic fashion. no complaints though! gotta make up for that goose egg of April. most my clients are booked out 2-3months solid
my region has generally been sheltered from the virus stuff, though the hysteria is nation wide.

Yeah this month will be 30-35% over my normal average month.. Only had one associate Dr out for a week with the virus, and another office closed for a week because a pt the week before tested postive after her appt... Full steam ahead..

I suggest people look at other places in the world, Ive been watching euro reality shows that were filmed this fall and have yet to see anyone wearing masks or distancing although they shake feet instead of kissing on the cheek. Not everyone has lost their mind.
