...We have abundant hospital capacity remaining?
If it looks so, that's only thanks to lockdown. There were days where the US saw daily 40% increase: with that kind of curve, it takes five days from "hospitals 80% idle" to "full", and another five days from that to "five times more patients than we can handle".
And since it takes about a week for infected people to show symptoms, when you put the brake again and re-implement lockdown, you will be looking for another five-fold increase before it slows down.
