Newswise there is very little to report today. To sum up the rest of this update: things look pretty much like they did yesterday.
Both new cases and new deaths have decreased in the US today. They are both so small we’d read them more like “holding steady” than dropped.
Similarly, Tennessee is down in cases but remains just a smidge below the 7-day average of 240 new cases/day.
Knox County and the surrounding area continue to be mixed news. Absolute cases and deaths are low but growth remains relatively constant.
On the whole, the 3/27 projections from the IMHE seem to be about on track for deaths, which we use as a proxy for the trend in the US as a whole.
Questions on the Models
There are some legitimate questions on the models, especially IMHE’s. On the one hand, they’ve been some of the most transparent about the process and their data allowing anyone to download it and run comparisons. On the other hand, their predictions on hospitalizations have been so much higher than data we can find we haven’t reported on it because we were afraid we misunderstood the data. We’ve reached out to them but haven’t heard back.
