Hospital utilization outside of a few areas is well under historical norms.

Some hospitals are struggling financial and not because of the burden of treating this virus.

The lack of ventilators is one of the reasons he shutdown was so important. It was to prevent the health system from being overwhelmed.

Pretty sure everyone understands that. Flattening the curve was about hospital utilization. We have flattened the curve, well under initial estimates actually.

This phased return proposed will help monitor the curve going forward by region.

Once testing increases the cases will rise (many asymptomatic) and mortality rates will decline.
