Since the whole world has gotten into modeling, this is a great article @TheAtlantic laying out why we should never think of these as trying to exactly predict the future: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/04/coronavirus-models-arent-supposed-be-right/609271/ …

So small differences in (assumed) doubling times will have massive effects on projected outcome numbers. This is very important for
#COVID19 since most (undersampled) places start out at ~1.5-2.0, then 2.5, 3.5, etc. before averaging at 7+ days prior to plateau and decline. 3/nDeze collectie tonen -
... and here I'm just doing a straight up regression with a single variable (doubling time) - real models are much more complex and have many more variables, most of which are uncertain at this time. YET, e.g.,
@MRC_Outbreak have managed to provide many very useful models! 4/nDeze collectie tonen -
Note - I'm in no way a modeler, so take all of what I just said with that in mind - including if you double-check my calculations above...

It would be great if we can have another table showing how much impact different measures such as extend of isolation have on doubling time.
