The number to look at is hospitalizations.

A spike in those numbers can choke the system. This is a horrific disease that in many cases leaves those who have been hospitalized for an extended period with life long disabilities. Prudence is the key. A rush to normalization can be fatal. This virus is not going anywhere. It's not going to blow over any time soon.
