That isn't useful. They emptied the hospitals for awhile delaying procedures. The hospitals should be filling up the capacity from those cases.

Well, that's just it. How much excess capacity is there? How much is in use? Without those numbers and looking at their trends there's no way to make an intelligent decision.

The idea of "flattening the curve" is arguably sound, but the more you flatten it the longer it gets. Ideally you'd want to allow for infections up until the point where the hospitals fill up. Otherwise you're locking down forever.
