The peak of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States could come sooner than first predicted given the lockdown and social distancing measures currently in place across much of the country, new research shows.
Forecasters at the University of Washington's School of Medicine released updated coronavirus estimates on Sunday that show the pandemic could be over quicker than initially thought and level out as early as June.
The estimated peak day of the US outbreak is expected to occur in 10 days on April 16 with a projected 3,130 deaths that day, the data shows. On that projected peak day, 140,522 hospital beds, 29,417 intensive care beds and 25,004 ventilators are predicted to be needed.
As of Monday, there has been nearly 10,000 deaths in the US and more than 337,000 confirmed cases.
