    Document: Our epidemiological projections and conclusions regarding the urgent need for extensive social distancing are consistent with a recent analysis by Imperial College [40] . However, we assume that a lower percent of hospitalized patients receive critical care (15-20% versus 30%), and consequently project a lower peak ICU demand. In sensitivity analyses with more extreme assumptions about critical care requirements, the projected peak demand rises accordingly. The local focus of our model, which incorporates city-specific data regarding demographics, high-risk conditions, contact patterns, and healthcare resource availability, allows us to project near-term healthcare demands and provide actionable insights for local healthcare and governmental decision-makers.
