The 50 U.S. states and District of Columbia colored to reflect whether they had surpassed any of the IHME report's three predicted numbers of cumulative COVID-19 deaths. States that had surpassed only the lower bound are shown the lightest shade of red (almost white, e.g. Florida), those that had surpassed both the lower bound and the best estimate are shown a somewhat darker shade (e.g. Illinois), and the two regions that had surpassed all three of the IHME's values (lower bound, best-estimate prediction, and upper bound) are shown in the darkest shade of red (those two being Connecticut and the District of Columbia).
