IHME COVID-19 Model

We may be off by one day. FF, is 22 the actual deaths on the 4th or the 5th?



For each day, the first number is the forecast, prepared on April 1, and the second number is actual deaths on that day. Originally Posted by Tiny
Yes, I get that, I was just confused by actuals being posted for the 5th already.

Your question clarifies what I was asking.

So, what gets reported tomorrow is the deaths on April 5th.

I'll revise it after noon manana.

Looks like Trump May have the virus after all..

He’s been acting weird lately

Like he’s on drugs

Let the house ferret Pence give him a dose of Chloroquine

That will do the trick...terminal,

The IHME model has just been updated with deaths through April 4. The total estimated deaths for the USA has dropped since the last update, from around 93,765 to 81,766. The really good news for many of us, their forecast for Texas has dropped from 6392 deaths to 2025! Why? My guess is data from Italy and Spain that indicate the curves are going the other way there, and Abbott's implementation of what they define as a stay at home order on April 2.

If this sticks, we'll have plenty of ICU beds and ventilators. And I'll be happy to say to many of you that you were right and I was wrong.
Yeah, but I'm reading that the number does not take into account the predicted "reinfection" in September.

Their estimate is through August 4, and they don't show any deaths occurring after June 21. It will be great if this ends in June, although you'd suspect this will be with us at least to some extent until we have a vaccine.
Let's track the accuracy from today for the IHME COVID-19 Model for Texas. They change the model constantly and likely won't admit their mistakes 10-30 days from now, so let's put it down for the record for Texas.

Based upon their model the US is destroying trillions in economic activity and creating trillions in new debt for our grandkids to be slaves to pay.

They say on May 6th we will have 161 deaths per day.

Start is April 4th.(I should have put 22 deaths here because on April 5th I got the April 4th results)

I could see how a Sunday reporting day might be imperfect so let's hope this good trend continues through tomorrow and the rest of the week.

Is CT running the CDC?

Are they using the same model to predict global warming?

I'd like to see a state by state number of deaths per day (all deaths) compared to the same time last year. My guess would be this years deaths are down because of fewer traffic accidents.
