There's no shortage of discussion of and modeling of Covid-19. I will try to keep this page updated:

Should Schools Reopen?

"I think this is another foul-up on the part of the baby boomers. I am a real baby boomer — I was born in 1947, I am almost 73 years old — but I think we’ve really screwed up. We’ve caused pollution, we’ve allowed the world’s population to increase threefold in my lifetime, we’ve caused the problems of global warming and now we’ve left your generation with a real mess in order to save a relatively small number of very old people. "  Nobel Laureate Michael Levitt from Unherd. com

US States Over 7M in population: Covid-19 Cases and Deaths as of July 14, 2020

Did Covid-19 reach a peak and start a 'HIT' ("Herd Immunity Threshold") decline? Does SARS-CoV-2 "run out of targets" as Nobel Laureate Michael Levitt's Stanford group attempts to demonstrate? Or have the premature re-openings, massive BLM riots and aerosolized spread of SARS-Cov-2 created a oncoming massive second wave? These are the cases and deaths from states with over 7 million in population as of July 14, 2020.  Data accessed with NCoVUtils @ https://github.com/epiforecasts/NCoVUtils .

WA State Deaths from Covid-19 and all deaths from CDC Provisional Death Counts as of 07/04/2020

You can get provisional death counts for WA state with graphs and tables(click on graph for table) from https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/covid19/. They are provisional because (among other statistical reasons) there is always a delay in CDC reception of death certificates. The screenshot picture attached is age ranges sorted by gender for (top) All Deaths WA 2020 to date and (bottom) Covid-19 deaths WA 2020 to date (e.g. through July 4, 2020). Note that (at a minimum) no male has died of Covid-19 in WA state under age 35. No female has died under age 45. Click to enlarge the charts and tables:
