    Snippet: Therefore, to estimate the number of infections on day t , we use the number of hospitalizations h(t) , and use the formula infections(t) = exp(lag time * exponential growth rate) * h(t) / hospitalization rate . This can be converted to a prevalence fraction by dividing by the population size. Note that the hospitalization rate is needed to estimate the total number of infections, but not for forecasting overall hospital bed demand......
