  Evaluation Summary:

  In this paper, the authors presented the joint efforts from nine modeling teams to provide six-month projection of the COVID-19 pandemic across the US, in view of the circulation of the more transmissible Delta variant. All of the nine models projected substantial Fall resurgences based on data as of 3 July 2021, but the actual resurgence scale as of 31 July 2021 had exceeded the projections of all of the nine models. This suggests that transmission may be even higher than expected given model assumptions, and that forecasts beyond more than a few weeks are likely to be highly uncertain. This paper will be of high interest to public health specialists, forecast modelers, and members of the general public interested in the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of public health interventions in the USA.
