Maybe, I'm not really a polite person. I think using a working formula for f would greatly help to evaluate the consequences of actions and helps to detect outbreaks early.

In my area they made masks mandatory and cut down the protection of hospitals - now we have an infected nurse. I think politicians currently are using seriously wrong models for their actions.

I had a discussion with one of the "official" epidemiologists. It went like the discussion with you - just at the point where we are now he decided to go into all-caps swearing, said that he will never look into this, called his models perfect and then blocked me.
