  Interpretation of Forecasts of New Hospitalizations
  
  • This week, two national forecasts predict a likely increase in the number of new hospitalizations per day over the next four weeks, one forecast predicts a likely decline, and three forecasts are uncertain about the trend or predict stable numbers. For October 12, the forecasts estimate 1,300 to 5,500 new COVID-19 hospitalizations per day.
  
  • State-level forecasts also show a high degree of variability, which results from multiple factors. Hospitalization forecasts use different sources of data for COVID-19 cases or deaths, with different limitations, and make different assumptions about social distancing.
