New Report: Texas Still a Month Away From Hitting Coronavirus Peak
A new study suggests San Antonio's current shelter-in-place order, which runs through April 9, may not be long enough to ride out the worst of the coronavirus pandemic.
Texas is more than a month away from the peak of the crisis, which is likely to hit the state May 2, according to a state-by-state analysis by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.
The United States as a whole will hit its peak earlier, on April 15. But that's still days after the Alamo City's order expires.
May 2 will mark both the date of the virus' peak drain on Texas' hospital resources and the state's highest number of COVID-19 related deaths, according to the IHME, an independent research center at the University of Washington. It made those projections by modeling statistics collected by the World Health Organization and local and national governments.
