Surgery & admission: One of my family members was hospitalized & had surgery this week (a couple of states over from you). The amount of effort put into social distancing, keeping surfaces clean, etc. was remarkable. I think overall, the North East is doing a pretty good job. My biggest concern would have been the rehabilitation facility after a total knee replacement - but it sounds like that won't even be an issue.
