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-

Health (LCPH) —

Oregon Health Authority
(OHA) —
• Confirmed/presumptive

• New cases reported as of
June 25 by county: Benton
(6), Clackamas (8), Clatsop

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.

Harry Edward Maxwell, Jr. “Bud”
Born March 26, 1926 Seattle, WA
Died April 7, 2020 Newberg, OR
Proceeded by father Harry
Edward Maxwell, Sr., mother
Mamie Jensen Maxwell, sister
Beverly Maxwell Jansen, and
stepson Jay Hansen. 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.
