Description:COVID19Surge.v1 Beta Test Version
This manual accompanies the software tool COVID19Surge, which is an adaptation of the previously published FluSurge 2.0 and FluSurge Special Edition (at: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/tools/flusurge.htm and https://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/tools/flusurge/ )
Disclaimers: The numbers generated through COVID19Surge are not to be considered predictions of what will actually occur during a coronavirus pandemic. Rather, they are illustrations designed to aid the planning and preparation of a response to a surge in demand for hospital-based resources due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The findings and conclusions in this manual and the accompanying software (COVID19Surge) are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
