Texas A&M talk: Quantitative issues causing confusion for both skeptics and leaders in the pandemic

Last Friday gave a covid webinar at Texas A&M discussing various issues in the pandemic in which quantitative nuances have confused people, sometimes the pandemic skeptics, and sometimes the national leaders and media, including:


* Length of lockdowns

* Deniers vs. alarmists, vaccine enthusiasts vs. skeptics

* Vaccine efficacy vs. infection/transmission

* Vaccine safety

* Immunity after infection

* Age and Time confounding in the pandemic and Simpson's paradox

* Variants

* Censoring/fact-checking

* The role of statisticians and other biomedical data scientists in the pandemic

Honestly, I didn’t expect much from delta executor, but it works better than I imagined. The performance is smooth, and it doesn’t create unnecessary problems. It’s easy to use and doesn’t feel confusing at all, even for someone trying it for the first time.
