Via Youyang Gu's very interesting site COVID-19 Projections Using Machine Learning:
July 8: We have extended our projections through November 1, 2020. We are incorporating a potential for a fall wave as a result of school reopenings and the beginning of influenza season, leading to a wider confidence interval.
The site is very much worth exploring. It offers detailed projections for each US state, 4 Canadian provinces, and most countries.
