4/6 COVID-19 MN Projections vs. Reported

(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.)

  • Predicted for 4/6 (grabbed @ noon on 4/6, big update 4/5)
    • 7 deaths (1-25 (!!)),  42 deaths (29-74) total, 625 projected by 8/4
    • ICU beds needed: 79 (43-153) 
    • peak predicted:
      • 4/26:  24 deaths/day
      • peak ICU beds needed: 228 (59-651) on 4/25
  • Actual for 4/6 (reported 11AM 4/7, current as of 4PM previous day)
    • hospitalized: 242 (64 ICU)
    • deaths:  4,  total 34
