  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, two forecasts predict a likely decline, and five forecasts are uncertain about the trend or predict stable numbers. For October 19, the forecasts estimate 1,500 to 5,000 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.
