The points show reported deaths (placed at the start of each week in this graph). The turquoise-shaded areas show the predictions of how many deaths would have been expected from mid-February had the COVID-19 pandemic not ocurred. The shading shows the credible intervals around the median prediction, from 5% (dark) to 95% (light) in 10% increments, obtained from 16,000 posterior draws as described in the Methods. Extended Data Fig. 1 shows results by age group.
