Shreveport's Mayor Perkins has shut down all tennis courts in Shreveport, including privately owned ones, even though there is more social distancing on a tennis court than there is with 2 men in a fishing boat!

Stephen Parr explains how Predictive Modeling is developed and why it actually is always flawed. Models can either be very precise or quite accurate, but they are not likely to be both. Being more precise is actually more useful than being more accurate. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 model is not very precise.

The predictive model being used for the COVID-19 infection severity and infection rate did not exist before this all started. It is being developed as we go because this has never happened before. It is necessarily having to be refined as more date is developed and reported. Considering all of this has had to be developed “on the fly”, we are doing rather well.
