This is the latest weekly update of my projection of Coronavirus Cases over the next fourteen days. Projection two weeks ago was too low (assumed control of spread). Projection on week ago assumed no change in Growth Rate % of cases per day. This version used trend in Growth Rate % cases per day to extrapolate reducing Growth Rate per day over the next 14 days. This should be much more accurate if continued progress in "social distancing" occurs.

2. Changed Methodology
• Per State, computed a moving average of Case Growth Per Day
• Over 7 Days, gives average growth rate over that period that gives final cases
• Evaluated change in Growth Rate Over Time
• Essentially, the first derivative of (Case Growth Per Day)
• Based on Prior data, projected continued decrease in Case Growth
Per Day, then computed Cases by date
• Then projected forward for 14 days
