The webtext along with summary information that needs to be updated weekly:

• This week's ensemble predicts that the number of new weekly laboratory confirmed COVID-19 hospital admissions will be [number of US COVID-19 hospitalizations from ensemble model, time horizon 2] nationally, with [lower 95% CI prediction for ensemble model] to [upper 95% CI prediction for ensemble model] laboratory confirmed COVID-19 hospital admissions likely reported in the week ending [week ending date for horizon 2 forecasts].

• Reported and forecasted new COVID-19 hospital admissions as of [forecast submission date (Weds date)]. This week, [number of groups who submitted a forecast] modeling groups contributed [number of forecasts submitted] forecasts that were eligible for inclusion in the ensemble forecasts for at least one jurisdiction.

• The figure shows the number of new laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 hospital admissions reported in the United States each week from [beginning date of historical data in time series] through [last date of historical data in time series] and forecasted new COVID-19 hospital admissions per week for this week and the next 2 weeks through [week ending date for horizon 2 forecast].

• [Optional: any caveats for that week’s forecasts that would be necessary to know for forecast interpretation]
  Example: “Forecasts and recent hospitalization data for Arkansas and New Mexico should be interpreted with caution until technical data issues can be investigated and resolved.”

• [List of contributing teams and models as hyperlinks to the sites provided in the metadata]

....md or .qmd file with required metrics and text that can be generated each week automatically or with minimal work like updating reference date and running.
