Our forecasts show deaths beginning to increase again in many states in September, due to the expected seasonality of #COVID19. Current data show a strong statistical relationship between COVID-19 transmission & pneumonia seasonality.

Updated estimates: covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-…
“The US didn’t experience a true end to the 1st wave of the pandemic. This will not spare us from a 2nd surge in the fall, which will hit particularly hard in states currently seeing high levels of infections.” said IHME Director Dr. Christopher Murray.

Our director, Dr. Christopher Murray, will be presenting our #COVID19 Projections for the Middle East and North Afrca in a webinar hosted by
@ghi_aub
that will begin shortly. We will be live-tweeting his discussion.
We started modeling COVID-19 in March to predict the surge in hospital patients. We've tried to expand our model to answer many questions.
We produce a reference forecast; what we think is most likely to happen. We use the modeling framework to address a long list of alternative scenarios.

NEW: Our 4/22 model release involves updated estimates for previously included locations in the US and Europe, and a more in-depth examination of the results.

We also have #COVID19 predictions for Puerto Rico and by province in Canada.

As we add new locations to our production pipeline, we will focus on producing estimates for locations that have reported a minimum of 50 cumulative deaths to date.
For example, in today’s release we show results for four Canadian provinces (Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec) that have met the threshold, but not for other provinces. ➡️covid19.healthdata.org/projections

#BREAKING: Researchers from @IHME_UW find demand for beds in US hospital intensive care units is likely to far exceed capacity for #COVID19 patients as early as the second week of April. Press release➡️bit.ly/IHME-COVID19
“The trajectory of the (#COVID19) pandemic will change – and dramatically for the worse – if people ease up on social distancing or relax with other precautions,” said Dr. Christopher Murray, Director of @IHME_UW.
Health systems can help address excess #COVID19 demand by:

✅Postponing elective procedures
✅Increasing # of beds above licensed capacity
✅Establishing emergency field hospitals
✅Reducing staff-to-patient ratios.
