A Small Sign That It's Peaked

San Mateo County, where we live, has 589 cases.
(Mercury-News map as of 4/7, 5:18pm.
My 98-year-old friend needed another ride to the hospital for an outpatient procedure to clear a blockage. IMHO, her condition was somewhere between life-threatening and you-should-have-a-doctor-take-a-look, but I'm not a medical professional.

Her original appointment, scheduled for March 26th, was postponed to April 23rd because the hospital was preparing to receive an influx of COVID-19 patients.

When she called again yesterday to inform me of another date change, I was expecting a postponement. Instead her appointment was moved forward three days to April 20th.

It's a small sign that the virus may have peaked on the Peninsula.
