U of Wash model predicts Ohio virus deaths could spike by spring
By Evan MacDonald - cleveland.com (TNS)
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Ohio could see coronavirus deaths increase by nearly two-thirds by the spring, according to the latest projections from the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.
The IHME model, which has been offering projections since early in the pandemic, says Ohio could see 15,538 coronavirus deaths by April 1. The projection assumes Ohio will scale up COVID-19 vaccine distribution over the next 90 days.
The state reported 9,462 deaths through Thursday, so the IHME is projecting a 64.2% increase in deaths over the next four months.
