+  In partnership with the Allegheny County Health Department,
+  we explored a variety of solutions to different pressing challenges
   during the pandemic. Cases2Beds was one such tool that came as a
   result of rising COVID cases in Allegheny County.
 
-  The goal of Cases2Beds is to project likely hospital bed
-  utilization from any given set of lab-confirmed cases. The intuition of
-  Cases2Beds is that some fraction ((hospitalization rate) of individuals who
-  test positive today will be hospitalized after a time delay
-  (from test date to admit date) and for a varying duration
-  (from admit date to discharge date). These values and distributions vary by
-  individual traits (primarily age group, and then race or gender).
-  Using the current relevant hospitalization rates, delay distributions,
-  and duration distributions, we show what bed usage might be for the inputted
-  positive cases. We are not aware of other generative approaches for
-  hospital utilization.
