Games with Models, 7/2/20 Data
A short one, today.
The number of new COVID-19 cases in RI was higher today than it’s been, but the number of tests was up, and we’re still under 100. Moreover, all of the other data points continued in the right direction. Hospitalizations and intensive care units both continued downward, and deaths continued to be low single digits.
(See here for my original methodology and here for a subsequent modification I made. A thorough explanation of the chart is included in this post.)
