[QUOTE="zero_zero, post: 321003, member: 9932"] Up here the dentists got the green light last Thursday for prepping teeth, got thirteen cases that day...was kinda unexpected, specially for May long. Work keeps coming in steady since. By no means busy, as before the shut down, but still... Not sure how will it pan out, too early to tell.
