The hospitals largely shut down elective surgeries, tried to get rehab patients to other facilities to free up surge capacity, etc.

So, generally, they're less busy than normal.

The problem with opening back up is, we've already seen the growth curve, and that was 2 months ago.

What happens when you multiple that same growth rate against a much higher baseline number of infected people?
