According to this model from The University of Washington Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), only NY, Texas and Florida will have more residents die.
the hill

There is a table model (updated Mar. 2nd)that I can't copy and paste formatted on The Hill link.

Sure hope it's wrong.

Wow, so we are going to have 5,484 more deaths?

Interesting.

4th? That’s only because the others don’t play an SEC W schedule.

Same model called for Tennessee to need over 2,000 beds yesterday.

We had 220 hospitalized

That model is useless until it hits a certain point of deaths/hospitalizations. Alabama isn’t there yet.

Alternatively "because they can't play themselves"

What were the “models” saying a month ago. Shouldn’t we have tens of thousands dead right about now?

Alabama has had 32 deaths so far. Is it possible we have 5,484 more deaths by August? Sure, we are a very unhealthy state with lots of underlying conditions.

This prediction seems fairly alarmist though.

I hope every "model" after this is all said and done is scrutinized and the ones that are completely wrong are held accountable for it.

They’re saying Alabama will have 5,516 deaths in this model with the peak of being April 19. That’s just over two weeks away. From what I’m seeing on Google, Alabama currently has 17 deaths total as of less than 8 hours ago.

For that to happen the mortality rate in Alabama would have to freaking explode on a rate that would make Italy pale in comparison.

Does that seem realistic to anyone?

ETA: I just found that Alabama has 32 deaths out of a total of 1,270 cases.

If this is the case we need to get going. My buddy who is an ER doc at UAB would disagree with this model.

Total deaths is actually by August.

I find it hard to believe that Al. could be ahead of Ca, Il, NJ, etc. because our population is far smaller.

I thought about that right after I hit submit so I went back and took it out.

Still, to reach 5,000+ deaths from this virus, the mortality rate is going to have to go way up from what we are seeing now.

The model has some obvious flaws. It assumes a steep bell curve for every state. So if your state doesn’t have a steep bell curve, it’s coming in the future.

Yeah. If you look at the low range of the estimate, it’s just under 1,000 deaths. With a peak of around 55 deaths in a day.
