Pandemic's Peak – Here's the Date for Your State

A new virus model favored by the White House and developed by the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) indicates the United States is now approaching its peak level of coronavirus infections -- as well as deaths.

Nationally, the worst ravages of the modern-day plague are expected to arrive on April 16.

The IHME model projects that on that date alone there will be 3,130 deaths nationwide due to the virus.

The pandemic is peaking at different times in different states, however.

The IHME says in some states -- Colorado, Delaware, Louisiana, Vermont and Washington -- the worst may already be over.

In states where the virus has yet to fully hit home, the peak period of contagion may still be three weeks away.

Health officials warn the only way to save lives is for citizens to continue to carefully observe social-distancing guidelines.

The IHME study assesses two critical factors: First, the point of peak strain on the healthcare system, based on metrics such as demand for hospital beds and the need for ventilators.

And second, it reveals the estimated peak in terms of daily reported deaths.

So where does your state lie right now on the pandemic curve?

And how many days or weeks until your area enters a period of maximum danger from the virus?

The information on the IHME website gives a state-by-state breakdown of the IHME analysis.

The figure in parenthesis is the highest single-day death total projected in your state, expected to occur on the date provided.
