Liked this: "In conclusion, thinking about modelling as experimentation does not cage creativity; it structures it, giving us better tools to ask sharper questions, present clearer answers and build cumulative science."

There are some interesting bits of information in here.
Clearly the numbers reflect both incidence and severity.
In ages 5-9, flu detections outnumber covid by a factor of 12 (😮)
In ages 70+, they are approximately equal.

Does negative mean good here? ie. disease reduced?
