Completely agree. At least with the stay in placers who are in place should help flatten the curve, helping medical providers and preventing some deaths.

Yeah, my concern is things 'Normalize' and everyone goes back to being 'Normal' and we're going to see a lot of people previously unexposed, get infected. That may help the hospitals and healthcare in general, but elongate the overall duration of the pandemic.
It’s a fair concern, and a probable result of “flattening the curve.” The hope is that deaths will be mitigated because hospitals will be able to provide the care needed.
I drive across Denver every day to get to my railroad job. Last week traffic was pretty light. I've noticed that this week that it's picking back up. People aren't staying as they should.
One of my best friends has the virus. He's had it for about ten or eleven days. He went to the ER yesterday and did test positive. His oxygen levels were a little low but not terrible (90) and he doesn't have pneumonia. They sent him home. He says it is horrible. Just miserable.
I have to go to work every day (railroad.) I'm plenty worried that's it's just a matter of time before I touch the wrong thing.

A report in the news tonight said that NY EMTs have been instructed that on calls for cardiac arrest, if they can't resuscitate on site, then don't take them to the ER. The Theodore Roosevelt is going to remove all sailors from the ship and quarantine them ashore in Guam.
Still have several cruise ships at sea. Gov. Cuomo says that NY may not hit their peak until the end of April.
Edit: This is going to be worse than anything in my memory and I'm 70. I'm staying home, except for daily walks. Trying to convince my wife that she needs to stop her weekly grocery runs and let our 47 year old son do it.

Another comment I heard from a healthcare professional is that they're already seeing improvements in how they treat and the outcomes of the most severe cases as they 'process' more and more folks. With the 'experience' that makes sense.
Do what it takes to convince her! If grocery delivery is an option where you live, that would be even better.
Two links:
COVID 19 Hospital projections by state
COVID 19 Trend Tracker
The first link projects needs for beds, ICU beds and ventilators vs each state's capacity. Very sobering.
The second one shows several trends by country, but if you choose US, then you can see state by state data.

True - one of the reasons I think this is going to go on for months or possibly until next summer.
Social distancing works. I have never heard San Diego this quite before. While people are still out it is obvious that many are staying home and when people are out most are polite and respecting the 6 foot bubble.
This is an cool article.
