The planning scenarios are being used by mathematical modelers throughout the Federal government, it added. Data in the planning scenarios document may also be useful to hospital administrators in assessing resource needs, the agency said. The five scenarios mentioned in the CDC document are meant to help inform decisions by public health officials and help them evaluate the potential effects of different community mitigation strategies, including social distancing. Asymptomatic cases are harder to detect, so officials often use estimates based on tests for antibodies against the novel coronavirus disease. In the latter two groups, the estimated IFR is lower than the overall IFR for the seasonal flu.
Officials use models to assess physical resources.
