COVID-19 plan

Background

Focus on less studies/supported regions: novelty is that no one is looking (unlike US), downside is data is probably going to be messy.

Possible questions

  • real # of cases (underreporting issue for estimating needed hospital beds)
  • spatial spread: political divisions

Stats tricks
