When the stakes are high, models matter. Inform responsible reopening practices with our COVID-19 case modeling and forecasting tools.
Many of the current models used to forecast new COVID-19 cases are based on methods rooted in the limited computing power available in the 1960s. The models work in the aggregate to show changes in trends based on a handful of variables, at most.
These models were critical in informing the first steps to mitigate and control spread through social distancing, but policymakers and practitioners at all levels – as well as decision makers in nursing homes, schools, universities, and others – need more precise tools to guide and sustain our response to both the public health and economic challenges created by COVID-19. Our modeling tools leverage leading-edge technology and build on our former work forecasting the spread of HIV.
