Putting aside the awful human toll... I’m looking forward to reading and hearing from demand planners/time series forecasters about how they responded. Both in terms of updating models as well and how they communicated within their companies. One idea to alleviate the future forecasting challenges raise from this would be to add an explanatory variable/flag this time period. Another challenge will be if there are aftershocks and waves of social distancing required which could lead to more panic buying.
