Good.

I don't think they much of a choice but to use models earlier. With lack of testing there wasn't enough data to track.

The medical professionals on the White House Coronavirus Task Force appear to have lessened their reliance on academic models in favor of actual coronavirus data provided by state governments.

This move comes as the academic models that have brought about restrictive social distancing policies at the state and federal level continue to revise death projections downwards and vastly overstate hospitalization projections.

ridiculous, why bother with actual data, when the models can be manipulated to tell a much better story!
