New Models for COVID-19 Suggest ‘Relaxed Social Distancing’ Starting June 14th
New models have been released by healthdata.org stating that the earliest date Florida can start practicing relaxed social distancing is June 14th. This is a bit longer than we had hoped given Disney is taking bookings starting on June 1st.
Many models that were updated substantially improved our death model and included initial predictions of when US states could safely consider easing current social distancing policies while shifting to robust containment strategies (widely available testing, contact tracing, and case-based isolation, restrictions on mass gatherings).
These estimated dates are based on projections of all-age COVID-19 prevalent infections – that is, all occurring infections in a location, not just new ones – and when these projections fall below 1 prevalent infection per 1,000,000 population for the upper bound of the 95% uncertainty interval.
Just last week, healthdata.org released models showing that Florida has reached its peak with COVID19 related illnesses and deaths as of April 17th, 2020.
Another encouraging model shows that hospitals have started seeing a downward trend in utilizing their resources related to COVID19 illnesses and deaths since the peak 2 weeks ago.
As of right now, the Walt Disney World resort is taking reservations for summer travel starting on June 1st. These are definitely encouraging to see and hope these trends continue as long as we can continue to practice safe guidelines and strategies.
