  Interpretation of Forecasts of New and Total Deaths
  
  • This week CDC received forecasts of national COVID-19 deaths over the next 4 weeks from 39 modeling groups. Of the 39 groups, 33 provided forecasts for both new and total deaths, four groups forecasted total deaths only, and two forecasted new deaths only.
  
  • This week’s national ensemble forecast indicates an uncertain trend in new COVID-19 deaths reported over the next four weeks and predicts that 3,300 to 8,000 new deaths will likely be reported during the week ending October 3, 2020. The national ensemble predicts that a total of 205,000 to 217,000 COVID-19 deaths will be reported by this date.
  
  • The state- and territory-level ensemble forecasts predict that over the next 4 weeks, the number of newly reported deaths per week may increase in 1 jurisdiction and decrease in 10 jurisdictions, which are indicated in the forecast plots below. Trends in numbers of future reported deaths are uncertain or predicted to remain stable in the other states and territories.
