Estimated infected and deaths using profile travel.

The Estimated infected plot shows the ratio of confirmed cases to estimated infected in each county on T1= March 13. T0 is February 23rd. We use the full European Entry. Estimated infected are given by the reported on T1+Lag and divided by α. We use an eight-day lag.

The second plot shows the ratio of cohort-matched confirmed deaths to estimated infected in each county on Mar 13th, taking into account an 8 day lag in reporting. We use the full European Entry. We estimate fatality-lag time as a log-normal distribution with mean 14.5 and standard deviation 6.7. Estimated infected are computed for each daily cohort using the National-α of 4.09%. We omit New York City for visual clarity.
