HELP Project: Modelling the health and economic impacts of exiting lockdown
18 May - 09:00 AM
Online
Although many people are creating work on the economic or health impact about coronavirus, there are few projects combining the two outcomes throughout their analysis. Coronavirus is an acute health problem, but the way we exit lockdown will also affect our lives for years and maybe decades to come.
People need answers now, and the plan is to move quickly to understand how each of the possible exit strategies will play out. By releasing this information on a weekly basis, we will allow key decision-makers, reporters and the public to make the best-informed decisions they can.
See the project page here
You can see some overview slides here
The project will be completely virtual with teams forming around key themes identified by economic and health experts. Teams will be a mixture of these experts combined with machine learning and data science specialists.
This project will officially start on the 18th May with a kickoff call and briefing. Over the coming week, there will be communications regarding slack channels, team formation and other details. So please sign up here to make sure you’re included.
Some early details can be found in this working document
Key Dates:
