- The COVID-19 coronavirus is continuing to infect a growing number of Americans, with the total number of infections as of Monday night standing at more than 164,000, according to the latest numbers from Johns Hopkins University.
- Also, more than 3,000 Americans have died so far from the virus — more than the number of Americans who perished in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
- This website tool has built projections for all 50 states, as well as the country as a whole, showing when each state will hit its peak number of estimated deaths from the virus, as well as when its hospital capacity is expected to hit its peak.

As deaths continue to mount and infections continue to rise from the novel coronavirus pandemic, not to mention the catastrophic economic impact that’s being felt at the local, state, and federal level here in the US, one question continues to be asked by people desperate for the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel:

New York City, in particular, has been hit hard and is struggling to keep its health care infrastructure from collapsing under the weight of the virus. Meanwhile, researchers from the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics have come up with a model estimating when every state will hit its peak in terms of hospital use and resources hitting its max, as well as deaths from the virus peaking in the state.
