Modeling forecast warns Florida's delta variant wave still hasn't peaked [View all]
A predictive model developed by two scientists at the University of Florida shows the latest COVID-19 wave in Florida still hasn’t peaked.
UF biostatistics professor Ira Longini, Ph.D., worked with Thomas Hladish, a UF biology research scientist, to develop a mathematical model that projects the number of reported COVID-19 cases in Florida through the end of 2021.
The resulting graph released Aug. 5 shows the Sunshine State is in the middle of a large outbreak of COVID-19 cases, and the state hasn’t quite hit its peak.
Based on the model, Florida’s COVID-19 cases will soon surpass the number of COVID-19 cases seen at any point during the pandemic.
Longini has been researching and analyzing COVID-19 data from the beginning of the virus outbreak. As a biostatistician, he studies and analyzes the control of infectious diseases, including vaccine trials and transmission studies. In his work, he uses mathematical models that consider various factors related to infectious diseases and project infections based on those factors.
