4/4 – Yesterday’s MN COVID-19 Projections

(MN has now published some info on their model, but since it’s not usable without spending more time than I intend, I continue to use this one, which seems to be using a more general version of the same sort of modeling. You’ll note a big jump on 4/14, possibly due to MN’s mistaken lumping of two days’ statistics into one release over the weekend, or possibly just a return to “normal” after several days of fewer deaths than originally predicted.)

  • 4/3: predicting  5 deaths (5-6),  25 deaths (24-27) total, 932 projected by 8/4
    • Predicted: (grabbed @ 12 noon on 4/3, not updated since 4/1)
      • peak predicted 4/21-25, 36 deaths/day
      • ICU beds needed: 555 (290-948)
    • Actual (reported 11AM, current as of 4PM previous day)
      • hospitalized: 86 (40 ICU)
      • deaths:  4,  total 22

[Update 4/5/2020 8AM: forgot to put in the top line death predictions.]
