Forecasting COVID
Manage episode 282566586 series 2826931
One of the greatest challenges with COVID is forecasting where communities are in the transmission curve. Most of our models look backwards, not ahead. It was like knowing where a hurricane had been, but not having a forecast of where it was going.
Carnegie Mellon University researchers are trying to change that. The Delphi group at CMU is at the forefront of epidemiological forecasting using real-time information on symptoms, doctor visits, medical tests and searches on Google and Facebook. It provides a county-by-county sense of COVID is surging today and where it may be tomorrow.
