Covid-19 models: none are perfect, some are downright dumb

May 15, 2020

I wrote a Bloomberg columns which heavily relied on Jarod Alper‘s recent YouTube talk:

 

Meet the Covid Models That Are Running the World

None are perfect; some are downright dumb.

 

See other Bloomberg columns I wrote here.

    Thank you for this discussion and trying to relate the models to how they may be used. I found it helpful. I found this: https://aatishb.com/covidtrends/?scale=linear&data=deaths&region=US web site that has been very useful to me for visualizing the existing data. I like how it can be wound back to events and allowed to play forward. It would be nice if we knew the data it was based on was reported honestly and completely.

    Your reporting about coronavirus is some of the most important reporting there is. Is there any chance you could have the paywall lifted for these articles?
