Could we create an epidemic ‘game’ and then trial different scenarios and measures to see which worked best? Something like an ‘in silico’ RCT for pandemic responses. If so, why have we not done it yet? It would be vastly superior to table top exercises, and seems like it would be as good a use as any for our finite supercomputer capacity.
Could we use a supercomputer to model epidemics?
