Here is some anecdotal evidence for you. My daughter's riding instructor was scheduled for long needed back surgery on November 29th. Her pain has gotten so bad that she can no longer work and is basically bed ridden. Her surgery was cancelled for the 29th and has been repeatedly rescheduled then cancelled since because the hospital is overwhelmed by COVID patients. She is now scheduled for Monday and hopefully will actually be able to have the surgery this time.
