I hope it is not bad form to be the first person to comment on our article, but I wanted to call attention to a link that I just discovered today that represents an entirely different approach to the one Don and I illustrate in this article.
The web address http://covid-measures.stanford.edu/ presents interactive models that permit one to " try out" different assumptions regarding various aspects of Covid 19 in terms of certain parameters such as demand for hospital beds or the anticipated number of fatalities associated with certain containment scenarios.
I hope readers don't get the impression from our article that we reject the utility of such models.
However, they serve a very different purpose than the one we take and both should be thought of as complementing each other.
