NOTE: Because David is based in Israel, we’ll start our event on 11AM Sunday rather than our usual Wednesday meeting time.
What and how did we get things in the pandemic predictably wrong? More than that, what lessons can we learn that generalizes to future biosecurity and pandemic prevention/relief efforts?
David Manheim, an EA biosecurity and policy researcher, superforecaster, and Future of Humanity contract researcher, discussed mistakes he and others have made in covid-19 forecasting.
This will be EA: San Francisco’s fourth speaker event.
Due to security issues with Zoom App, we *strongly* recommend Zoom web client if you have security concerns.
As this will be online, I see little reason to restrict this to people living within the physical Bay Area. Feel free to invite friends from all over the world (in a compatible time zone) if they wish to attend.
Tentative schedule (PDT; UTC −7:00): Talk: 11:00-11:30 AM (Youtube Live) Q&A: 11:30-12:10 (Zoom) Mingling: 12:10-
