United States Infection Trend

How can you tell if a curve is really flattening?

The number of daily confirmed cases has been used as an estimation of how severe the COVID-19 situation is in a given country. However, we’ve found that focusing on the country’s cumulative number of active cases gives a clearer picture of whether the infection curve is flattening.

Countries with Similar Characteristics

This table is generated by a GCI-developed tool to match countries based on their similar characteristics such as population, population density, income and climate.

Country	Recovery Index	Recovery Index	Population	Density	GNI per capita	Average Temperature since First Case (Celsius)	Match%
United States	63.56	65.16	328,239,523	Medium Density	High income	< 10 deg
China	72.44	92.03	1,397,715,000	Medium Density	Upper middle income	< 10 deg	75%
Ethiopia	53.88	72.14	112,078,730	Medium Density	Low income	26-30 deg	60%
Indonesia	57.85	67.36	270,625,568	Medium Density	Upper middle income	26-30 deg	60%
Mexico	47.49	57.30	127,575,529	Medium Density	Upper middle income	21-25 deg	60%
Nigeria	54.60	60.15	200,963,599	Medium Density	Lower middle income	26-30 deg	60%

GCI Recovery Forecast

The GCI Recovery Forecasting methodology relies on a Monte Carlo simulation model as we recognise that the factors that contribute to an increase / decrease in confirmed COVID19 cases are highly variable and subject to various localised circumstances and interventions. The P10 / P50 / P90 are probabilities assigned to the forecasts, with P10 being highly optimistic, and P90 being very conservative on recovery and reduction in cases. The forecast model is updated daily based on the latest case data.

Forecast Results:

Situation Improving. The GCI Model forecasts that the situation is definitely improving and with the right discipline and compliance, the country can hope to see numbers diminish significantly in the near future.
