A friend shared this, and I thought it was interesting.  FYI.

That is helpful!

I mentioned this on another thread, but from what I have read in the newspaper, Syracuse is using a model made by professors at Syracuse University, and it has some worse estimates than some other models, but it’s also based more on the Imperial College.  
 

But I guess they will keep updating the models and adding more information as it becomes available?

“In other words, we don’t know the denominator.”

 

Exactly.
