They've been working their asses off to make it work (immense kudos to all of our health care workers!) but we haven't once exceeded our capacity for intensive care patients, which is one of the critical aspects in flattening the curve. Non-emergency procedures and so on have all been postponed, obviously, but everyone who actually had to go to the hospital were able to do so. So our strategy worked great as far as flattening the curve/keeping the hospitals afloat. This is me being an armchair expert, but I think the one major thing that they should have done differently is stop visitation in hospitals and elderly care. It took a little bit too long before they did that which allowed the virus to hit the elderly care. Some specific elderly care homes have had a crazy high mortality rate for example. Keeping the schools and daycare open was also part of the plan to not overtax the hospitals, since a non-trivial amount of nurses would've had to stay home to take care of their kids if they couldn't go to daycare/school.
