Coronavirus Predictions Earlier Peak Date, Fewer Deaths

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation now says Wisconsin’s peak date for its battle with COVID-19 will be April 17^th instead of the 27^th. They are also predicting fewer deaths from the virus in this state.  The latest numbers suggest Wisconsin will see 644 deaths by June 1st – less than half the original prediction of 1-thousand-309. By predicting the peak date will be on the 17^th, the scientists are saying that is when Wisconsin will see the highest death rate and the greatest usage of hospital resources. The institute has also dialed back its estimated national death toll, from 93 thousand to fewer than 82 thousand.
