Medical models that predicted cases of the coronavirus in Dallas County would peak in late April or early May may be accurate, County Judge Clay Jenkins said at a May 11 press conference.
“It’s too early to call this a plateau at the peak, but that would be consistent with the medical models from early April done before the governor’s orders reopening business,” he said in a statement.
Still, those models were created prior to the loosening of business restrictions statewide, making it difficult to know where case counts will be in the coming days and weeks, Jenkins said.
"It is hard to predict what a virus will do, and the models didn't take into account increased activity from all of the openings that have taken place the last three weeks," he said.
