Day 05, Play-by-Play
- Today is the end of our Covid unit.
- In these videos, I
- first
go over the announcements, and an example from Australia which shows
the value of a vaccination in terms of preventing serious illness.
- next
introduce you to a tool that uses the same idea that Strogatz promoted
-- using natural frequencies to permit better calculations. Associated
with this tool is a paper, in which is discussed the covid tests, and
their rates of mis-classification of covid rates. At that point in the
pandemic (the article was published in May, 2020), the sensitivity was
fairly poor (don't know if that's changed in the intervening almost two
years).
- Finally
we look at some Covid data from Cornell University, and try to answer
our question of the day.
