Unless you spent these last few months in a cave in the end of the world (but then you’re probably not reading this article), you couldn’t escape the information about the Covid-19 pandemic. The difficulty to model its evolution is striking. In the US for example, a recent report of the CHS warned about this in a review of existing methods. They call therefore for the creation of a national outbreak science centre. Here is an article about CAST, an agent-based micro-simulation model I developed over the last few weeks as an attempt to male prediction about Corona spread.
