Predicting the pandemic’s peak: OSF doctor estimates two weeks

By WCMY News Apr 7, 2020 | 1:35 PM

An OSF Healthcare doctor says the corona virus peak in Illinois could be two weeks away. Dr. Cliff Martin says it’s a little hard to know, because people coming into contact with the virus right now won’t be sick for several days. It could be days after that when a sick person needs hospital care. And even then, the person may not need intensive care for a few more days. Martin says everyone can help the peak come quicker by staying home whenever possible.
