Unfortunately after what seemed like an initial dip, the patients in hospital, in ICUs, and on vents are all pretty stable over the past week, and perhaps ticking up over the last day. It may be that our current social distancing/lockdown may not have gotten R0 below 1 even if it was effective enough to prevent an NYC like surge.

I saw a CNN headline that some NY state hospitals were getting the go ahead to start elective procedures again.  I have heard other hospitals around the country opening up their clinics.  How does it look in your area dabigv13?  Are things opening up again or are appointments still tightly controlled?  Hopefully these hospitals aren't cutting corners with PPE.
