Fig. 2: Projected cumulative burden of hospitalizations in the United States.

a–c, Optimistic scenario; d–f, pessimistic scenario. a,d, Relative number of hospitalizations in each county. b,e, Number of projected hospitalizations per capita in each county. a,b,d,e, Cases not yet allocated to healthcare systems. c,f, Cumulative number of hospitalizations per hospital bed after allocation of cases to healthcare systems. g, Cumulative fraction of each age class hospitalized in each transmission scenario. Each of the 315 lines for each transmission scenario represents a different county. h,i, Counties estimated to be in the 90% quantile of hospitalizations per capita (h) and hospitalizations per hospital bed (i) (after case allocation). Colors in h,i indicate whether these counties were estimated to be in the 90% quantile in the optimistic scenario, the pessimistic scenario, both or neither.
