A collection of observations and statistics regarding the latest developments surrounding SARS-CoV-2. Regular contributors here are of several of the real-life characters from Michael Lewis' book ,The Premonition, including (alongside relevant quotes from the book):

‍Dr. Carter Mecher:  "He had a gift, in a crisis, for figuring out what was going on while there was still time to do something about it."
‍Dr. Charity Dean:  "By the third week of January, Charity Dean, like Carter Mecher, did not believe that the risk to the American people was low. She thought that the virus was already spreading exponentially inside the United States. It was as if she, and she alone, had spotted the fire in Mann Gulch, and no one else was willing to turn and run."
‍Dr. Joe DeRisi:  “[Joe has] a mind without boundaries...it’s a mind that is interested in everything and afraid of nothing. It’s a bandwidth that is hard for most people to fathom.”
‍Dr. Josh Batson:  "Josh would analyze genomic data, show health officers how the virus was moving in their communities, and, with the health officers in the lead, they’d go to battle."
