Modeling and forecasting the spread of COVID-19 remains a challenge. This report details three regional-scale models for forecasting and assessing the course of the pandemic: 1) exponential growth, 2) self-exciting branching process, and 3) the susceptible–infected–resistant (SIR) compartment model. In presenting
