NEW: The IMHE model has been updated to predict Colorado has seen its peak of COVID-19 if social distancing is maintained. (State is using a different model from CU researchers). https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections

IHME | COVID-19 Projections

Explore hospital bed use, need for intensive care beds, and ventilator use due to COVID-19 based on projected deaths for all 50 US states and District of Columbia

Here’s a look at what the researchers at the Univ of Washington have modeled for Colorado. Hopefully this goes without saying, but this is one estimate of many, and assumed maintained social distancing, not everyone sharing lollipops tomorrow.

Here are details on the maintained social distancing priced into the model

Questions about this COVID-19 model & others? Questions about Colorado’s response and future plans to restore the economy? Record your video question for the Governor for Tuesday’s town hall at 7pm on #9News (and partner stations statewide). Submit Qs at: http://9news.com/townhall

Gov. Polis to answer your questions in statewide televised town hall Tuesday night

Polis will join 9NEWS, KRDO and KKCO/KJCT for Connecting Colorado: COVID-19, a town hall where only questions from residents across Colorado will be asked.

I’m curious how much of the IMHE pullback for Colorado was an overall reassessment of the course of the pandemic and how much was specific to Colorado’s aggressive distancing measures. And still want to see the inner workings of the state’s CU model.

There will always be some of that but I think most people can distinguish between health experts who offer guidance based on incomplete/changing information - and those sideline hecklers. https://twitter.com/kstand12/status/1247176813119328256?s=21 https://twitter.com/kstand12/status/1247176813119328256
