Don't think the folks in Italy would say the case rate is leveling off. Don't think the folks in the US states of Washington, New York, California, or Massachusetts would either.

As stated above, the big question is whether our health care system can be burdened *successfully* (meaning we actually 'treat' people and don't simply start deciding--by pointing fingers--saying "they, they, and they live...no room for these others; they stay in the hall here and meet their own fate") the *potential* numbers of ICU-bound patients that could occur.

It seems a number of medical professionals are saying if we don't blunt this some how, some way this answer is No, we can't handle those numbers.
