Looks like we're on track in Colorado to begin relaxing the restrictions after this weekend. The curve has been flattened for now. Like many parts of the world, there's been enough of a lack of testing we will never know how many actually got it or were exposed to it. A couple of my friends have suspicions that's what they were sick with in February, but they're both fine. One of them may have been exposed when she went in for breast cancer treatment, and she lives with the other right now, who can only confirm one person having definitely gotten it AFTER the last time he'd actually gone into the office. The hospitals are prepping for a secondary smaller peak, probably sometime around the end of May. I get the impression that we didn't hit capacity, which was definitely part of the goal of shutting things down.
We're going to wait a few more weeks personally before we start thinking of inviting people over.
I'm still counting on much of the year's convention slate being cancelled via rolling "we're not ready for events of that size" (vaccination will likely not be here this year, and herd immunity can't be guaranteed right now). Plus, well, we can't really afford Pinball Showdown, nor do I want to have to deep decontaminate the machines once they've returned home, before they can be reinstalled in the basement.
