Did you end up finding one besides the MIDAS network, or develop your own? I’m assembling a parameter doc for inputs to a rough model that accounts for ventilator & hospital bed capacity, since it seems like we’re lacking that.
I encourage folks to add parameters w/ citations to the doc, I’ll be active on it for the next few days.
If anyone knows of models that incorporate actual healthcare capacity, please share!
I stopped looking after Bucky supplied the link to the MIDAS network list, since it seemed so comprehensive.
For models that incorporate actual healthcare capacity, see this thread. One limitation of the models I’ve seen is that they fail to account for growth in such capacity. China responded to the realization that they didn’t have enough hospitals by quickly building more hospitals. Maybe Western countries are less competent than China and it will take them longer to build the needed capacity. But it seems implausible that they will be so incompetent that capacity-building efforts will not make a significant difference.

Thanks for putting this list together.
