Pyramid of Disease Severity
• The assumed parameters in the
model are all sourced from recent
results
DEATHS:1.61%
• The top of the pyramid implies
VENTILATOR: 6.45%
significant healthcare resource IN ICU: 7.34%
requirements
TOTAL HOSPITALIZED CASES: 16.3%
Scenario 1. Best case scenario. Assumes “high” effective social distancing with an low effective transmission rate (beta = 0.15). Assumes that
asymptomatic transmission is negligible with a 1X unconfirmed multiple. A beneficial Summer effect is modeled by reducing beta by half (to
0.075) on May 1.
Scenario 2. Moderate transmission; no underreporting. Assumes continued social distancing with moderate compliance (beta = 0.25) Summer effect
is modeled by reducing beta by half on May 15.
Scenario 3. Best fit: Assumes undetected cases are 4X known cases and can transmit asymptomatically (beta = .20). Summer effect is modeled by
reducing S by half on May 15. Assumes no additional mitigation, but high compliance with current social distancing orders. This scenario is
the current best fit to the data.
Scenario 4. Limited re-opening scenario. Limited asymptomatic transmission, limited re-opening. This scenario assumes a slightly increased
transmission consistent with limited re-opening and congregation of small groups(beta = 0.25). Assumes 4X undetected cases as initial
infections. Summer effect is modeled by reducing S by half on May 15. Same as scenario 3 with increased transmission.
Late testing scenario: Assumes a high number of infectious, undetected cases (11X) that would be consistent with rolling out testing in the
Scenario 5. middle of a large outbreak (similar to Wuhan or Italy). Current social distancing (beta =0.2). Summer effect of reduced transmission rate,
beta to 0.10 after May 15.
Total Infected
• Total infected includes asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic individuals, who
may be transmitting the disease
• The sharp decline in Scenario #5 due to the reduction in transmission rate

Scenario1 Scenar io 2 Scenario 3 Scenario 4 Scenario 5
Symptomatic Infections
• A large number of the symptomatic infections will recover at home
• Due to social distancing measures, we assumed that these individuals with
transmit the disease at a lower rate
Hospitalized Infections
• A portion of the hospitalized infections are in ICU, which we track separately due to the
significant resources need to care for ICU patients

Patients in ICU
• ICU resources can be critical to save lives
• In particular, several sources have pointed to longer ICU stays by patients that
eventually recover
• ICU stays can be as long as 14+ days for these patients

“This is unlike other disasters - hurricanes, earthquakes,
floods. They happen, they're fast, they're over, you start
rebuilding...This is ongoing & the duration itself is
debilitating & exhausting & depressing.”
