And also just because some hospitals still have remaining ventilators doesn't mean they are back to normal. Hospitals in California are in a once in a lifetime war footing. Nonemergency care is being deferred. That won't change soon.

Hospitals are going to need to find a source of revenue (covid patients probably aren't adding much margin to their bottom line and every other department is pretty much shut down in preparation).  Will we be able to get enough medical supplies to be able to safely reopen up normal (or highly profitable or at least pressing but not emergent) operations?
