Vallejo Times-Herald, April 7, 2020
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, an independent research center at the University of Washington, has released COVID-19 projections for all 50 states and for nations around the world.

The models predict “extent and timing of deaths and excess demand for hospital services due to COVID-19,” the institute says.

The model for California, as of April 7, predicted that COVID-19 deaths per day would peak on April 17. Projections assume “full social distancing” through May.
