Observed (black bars) versus model-estimated (green line) number of reported coronavirus disease cases (panels A, B) and hospitalizations (panels C, D), Colorado, USA, 2020, based on models calibrated at 4 points in the early months of the epidemic. Model-based estimates were generated by using an age-structured susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered model, and best-fit parameter values were estimated based on observed data shown. Reported cases are shown by using symptom onset date or report date minus 7 days if onset date was missing, in accordance with onset to report lags for Colorado during this period.
