Epidemic forecasting
Jan Kulveit’s group has a global epidemiological model that you can experiment with and will do more sophisticated modeling pro-bono for decision makers and health care planners. Details at epidemicforecasting.org.
Estimates of active cases
Jan Kulveit’s group has estimates of the number of actives cases – very different from the number of confirmed cases because of variation in testing. These numbers are much larger than the number of confirmed cases.
