New OHA modeling predicts ‘considerable rise’ in COVID-19 cases New modeling of the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 is spreading more rapidly in Oregon, according to the latest model released Thursday by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and the Institute for Dis- ease Modeling. The model, which is based on data through June 18, offers three pro- jections — optimistic, moderate and pessimistic — predicting that daily case levels could rise as much as 20 percentage points. The modeling assumes that hospitalizations from COVID-19 remain stable and testing re- mains at its present level of approximately 4,000 a day: • The optimistic sce- nario with those assump- tions suggests the previ- ous modeling increase of June 11 was the result of higher testing and that case counts would re- State and County COVID counts as of June 26, 2020 Lane County Public Health (LCPH) — • Positive cases: 118 • Presumptive cases: 6 • Total cases: 124 Oregon Health Authority (OHA) — • Confirmed/presumptive cases: 7,568. • New cases reported as of June 25 by county: Benton (6), Clackamas (8), Clatsop (1), Coos (2), Deschutes (2), Klamath (13), Lake (3), Lane (5), Linn (2), Malheur (2), Marion (4), Morrow (1), Multnomah (29), Polk (2), Umatilla (8), Union (10), Wasco (1), Washington (24), and Yamhill (1).

TheSiuslawNews.com. main stable at about 180 per day over the next month. This is the least likely scenario to occur because it assumes di- agnosis of all new cases. Presently, about one- third of new infections cannot be traced to a known source. • The moderate sce- nario suggests the rise in cases in the last mod- eling report was due to increased transmission and expanded testing — and that daily infections of COVID-19 could rise over the next month to more than 900 per day, with daily hospitaliza- tions rising from 8 to 27. • The most pessimis- tic scenario suggests the rise in cases in the last modeling report was due entirely to increased transmission and not expanded testing — and that infections could rise to more than 4,800, and hospitalizations could in- crease to 82 per day. “We know that COVID-19 is in our communities,” said Dean Sidelinger, MD, Oregon state health officer. “This latest model provides us with a sobering reminder that we all need to guard against continued spread, especially as we continue to reopen and the weath- er gets warmer.” He continued, “Think hard about your choice of activities, especially as we get close to the Fourth of July holiday. Ask your- self: how can I reduce my risk and the risk I might pose to people around me?” Do what you can to suppress the virus: • Stay 6 feet away from other people. • Wear a mask. Avoid large gatherings, and if you are in a group setting — like a holiday barbecue — stay outside, keep your distance and use a face covering when you’re not eating. • Wash your hands fre- quently and stay home if you’re sick. OHA uses this model- ing for data analysis and planning purposes and releases it on a bi-weekly basis.

Married to Carleene Helsel deceased) 1950 – 1969. Survivors include his wife, partner, and love of his life for 47 yea rs, Phyllis Maxwell of Sherwood, OR, sons James Maxwell and wife Laura, Bristol, TN, Michael Maxwell and wife Patty of Woodburn, OR, stepdaughters Debbie Hansen Walch and husband Doug of Bainbridge Island, WA, and Barbara Hansen Winger and husband Pat, of Lakeside, OR, seven grandchildren and eight great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. Bud was a devoted, caring and loving Husband. He was a proud and loving Father and Grandfather. He was a proud American Patriot having served in the United States Navy in World War II, stationed in Pearl Harbor, HI and later in Shanghai, China. He was a life-long Mason and Shriner. Bud was a founding board member for Southwestern Oregon Community College, in Coos Bay, OR. He was a Kiwanian and recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow, the highest honor bestowed by Rotary International. He and Phyllis traveled extensively, visiting numerous foreign countries in the South Pacifi c, Europe, the Mediterranean, Central America and most of the United States. His favorite, by far was Hawaii where he visited numerous times with Phyllis and his children. He lived an extraordinary life bringing a wonderful light into every room he entered. He was honest, authentic and original. Bud was mischievous and at times a bit cantankerous. He was always fun-loving and his epic sense of humor will be remembered forever by everyone whose life he touched. To the very end, he was sharper and wiser than many people half his age. He was technically savvy and a prolifi c reader of both books and newspapers, in print and online. He loved books about history, biographies, the South Pacifi c, and particularly those about World War II. He ultimately succumbed to the effects of COVID-19 – he was a warrior and a hero to the very end. His maternal grandmother and aunt were victims of the fl u pandemic of 1918. A celebration of life take will be held later this year. Interment will take place at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacifi c (Punch Bowl Cemetery) Honolulu, Hawaii.
