Models used to predict the course of the coronavirus are based on data and assumptions, providing estimates of cases, hospitalizations, resource need, and deaths.
Which model should be believed? Or if the hurricane makes landfall in Boca Raton, both models were wildly incorrect.
Another factor influencing models is the death count from this coronavirus.
Assistant Secretary of Defense for health affairs Thomas McCaffery said last week, "I wouldn't say the states got it wrong." Yet they did, in a big way, because they followed models that got it wrong.
In a moment of candor, Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted, "We can't really rely on coronavirus models." Yet his advice to the president and the task force is based on what? A Ouija board, tarot cards, or his vaunted models?
Make no mistake, many of these decisions are also political, way beyond the realm of science and models, but are superficially based on models.
The coronavirus decisions are based largely on models.
