The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent global health research center at the University of Washington [1].
The COVID-19 forecast model developed by the institute was cited by the US government and has been used by local governments to predict the load pressure on the local medical institutions caused by the epidemic [2],[3]. This article uses the data released by the Institute to illustrate the projected COVID-19 deaths in the United. Predictions are limited to the first wave of the pandemic up to August.| Date | Daily deaths | Total deaths | ||
