If I did not include your state in this thread, the IHME model can be accessed here where you can select your state https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america

If you are wondering why things have changed since last update, the makers of the model detailed it here http://www.healthdata.org/covid/updates 
Also, as always:
-Models are fallible+need to be constantly updated w/ new data.Changes are expected
-There are confidence intervals here, so need to look at full range of possibilities
-I did not make this model, and have no power to change its algorithm.Please dont yell at me
