First, the curves as I plotted them with the data to April 3rd, 2020, just about a week ago: I expected Canada to peak around April 12th, with an 'exit' around May 16th,2020 I expected Italy to have peaked around April 26th, 2020, with an 'exit' around April 26th. I expected the U.S to peak around April 13th, 2020, with an 'exit' around May 14th I think the projections for the U.S and Canada might have been done without sufficient data; the 4 point polynomial projection did not hit the 0 on y-axis and, as a result, I had just extended the data based on the assumption of peak. From now on, I will wait to call for an exit date and peak until the curve hits 0 on the y-axis. With the new data points of the past few days, I assessed that Canada's new cases have peaked on April 6th, and that the 'exit' is now around the 1st of May 2020, about 2 weeks earlier than my previous forecast.
