especially when it needs around 4 litres of water on a daily basis.

Maintenance water requirements are approximately 30mls per kilogram of body weight per day. An average 70kg person therefore needs 2.1 litres a day as maintenance. Additional water will be needed on top of this to replace excess losses, such as sweating a lot from exercise or hot weather, but even then, 4 litres is excessive unless you are obese.

Back in 1977, the doctors in Orange County went on strike for a month. There were 50% fewer deaths that month. That's why doctors never go on strike anymore. They would lose all their business if they went on strike too often.

Nonsense from BADecker as usual.

The death rate for Orange County was unchanged during this strike. What did go down was the in-hospital death rate, because tens of thousands of elective operations were cancelled, meaning the risk of death from operative complications became zero. Emergency work continued, and the death rate for these conditions and operations was unchanged.

Doctors go on strike all the time around the world. A simple web search can prove this.
