Here's some encouraging news! 🌻
_
Over the weekend, The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), made a major update to their models, based on most current data, for the entire United States and each State.
_
In Texas, the peak date for COVID-19 was moved from May 6th to April 19th, almost 3 weeks sooner than previously expected. They also reduced their expected COVID-19 death count to be about 2,000, which is down from the 6,000 they previously forecasted. They also have said TX has all the resources (beds, ICU beds, & ventilators) they need for this pandemic.

Do not get complacent. Please continue to social distance and follow CDC guidance...the sooner we get through this, the sooner things will get better for all of us! Please and thank you!
