Significance Our results highlight that the growing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in the United States could gravely challenge the critical care capacity, thereby exacerbating case fatality rates. In the absence of a preventive vaccine, efforts to contain the outbreak, such as improving self-isolation rates and encouraging better hygiene practices, can alleviate some of the pressures faced by the healthcare system during an outbreak. Both emergency expansion of hospital facilities to treat COVID-19 and government appropriations to facilitate voluntary case isolation are urgently needed.
