THREAD: The University of Washington’s @IHME_UW has updated its #COVID19 modeling for Tennessee. Our projected peak has been moved up, our projected death rate has been adjusted down and it shows we may very well have the resources to weather this storm. (1/3)

This is good news and reason for cautious optimism. But it is important to note this is just a model, a projection. This is not a guarantee. The model assumes maximum social distancing remains in place. (2/3)

Yes, it appears we are flattening the curve. But if we let up, if we become complacent, all our progress could be wiped away. It is now more important than ever to stay the course. Stay home. Stay apart. We can do this. (3/3) #tnstayapart #tnleg https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections
