After #COVIDー19 crisis passes, could we have a good faith discussion about the uses and abuses of "modeling" to predict the future? Everything from public health, to economic to climate predictions. It isn't the scientific method, folks.

You are a grade A idiot, or are pretending to be one for your constituents. Not sure which.

This is kind of a sciency paper (employing said method), but it explains the effect of various social policies on the containment of the spread of the virus in China. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/

I agree. Let’s not use statistics, mathematics and empirical evidence and all that useless junk and just throw darts at a board. Or, better yet, let’s pray on it and wait for God to tell us how to proceed.
You’re a brilliant public servant.

I have a better idea. Why don't we talk about who voted for cutting public health spending, who shredded the safety net we need now to take care of people so they could give tax cuts to their rich friends. Spare me Senator.

Scientist here: you don’t know what you’re talking about. Modeling is an indispensable tool used in every field of science. It saves time, money, and lives, by allowing scientists to examine phenomena in ways that would be otherwise impossible.
