🕯 Epidemiological models aren't crystal balls that predict the future, nor are we sure if their parameters are correct! That's okay because that's not what they're for. Let's treat them as what they are: the future imploring us to choose our fate. https://t.co/Zgq0oR6S4a

Forecasts by Country On this page, we present the 6-day forecasts of COVID-19 case counts by country based on a novel epidemiological model that integrates the effect of population behavior changes due to government measures and social distancing. http://rocs.hu-berlin.de/corona/docs/forecast/results_by_country/

متاسفانه خبردار شدیم که امروز صبح، فلیپ اندرسون فوت کرده. اندرسون برنده جایزه نوبل در فیزیک و از پیشگامان فیزیک ماده چگال و سیستم‌های پیچیده بود. جمله معروف «بیشتر، متفاوت است.» از او به ارمغان مانده. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Warren_Anderson روحش شاد و یادش گرامی

🎞 Doyne Farmer - How can we understand our complex economy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPKmFEDLh5E We are getting better at predicting things about our environment - the impact of climate change for example. But what about predicting our collective effect on ourselves? We can predict the small things, but we fail miserably when it comes to many of the big things. The financial crisis cost the world trillions, yet our ability to forecast and mitigate the next economic crisis is very low. Is this inherently impossible? Or perhaps we are just not going about it the right way? The complex systems approach to economics, which brings in insights from the physical and natural sciences, presents an alternative to standard methods. Doyne will explain this new approach and give examples of its successes. He will present a vision of the economics of the future as it confronts the serious problems that our world will face.

About this data It changes rapidly This data changes rapidly, so what’s shown may be out of date. Table totals may not always represent an accurate sum. Information about reported cases is also available on the World Health Organization site. It doesn’t include all cases Confirmed cases aren’t all cases. They only include people who tested positive. Testing rules and availability vary by country.
