It has been interesting to follow the prescriptions of this demo in the past few weeks. In May, the system was prescribing less stringent NPIs that it nevertheless predicted to contain the pandemic. Now its recommendations are much more stringent---apparently it has learned that people no longer adher to the NPIs the way they used to! This indeed seems to be the case, anecdotally and based on news media, but it is interesting that the AI learned it on its on from the data.

Nice thing is, now that this data exists, the models should never need to rediscover this relaxed adherence phenomenon, e.g., moving forward with covid, or for the next pandemic.
