I've seen locum offers to work in New York, and I think it's safe to say that they offer a fair bit of hazard pay compared to your typical critical care offer.Maybe for those in outbreak areas. In non outbreak areas where hospitals can't do anything but wait for Covid patients, some (many?) hospitals have made their physicians take temporary paycuts (even ER docs) and furloughed much of their staff.
Probably more an issue of supply/demand than true hazard pay, though, but the per shift numbers I've seen are comfortably 50 - 75% more than I used to make moonlighting at Kaiser.
