This has been great, and it is both impressive and refreshing to see this question asked explicitly. Thank you for all of it!
The main thing I’d like to see is a short-term (say, on May 1 looking back on 2/15-4/15) and then medium-term (maybe in September or November) retrospective on what LW did well and what we could have done differently. Things like:
Was there any advice or thinking that was mistaken or misleading?
what meta-models were helpful to figure out what was important to analyze more closely?
what level of detail of advice was useful to what groups?
did we have the right balance between noisy detail and hard-to-use very-abstract thinking?
Probably could be included in much of the above but perhaps summary of starting priors and knowledge and how they evolved and updated. How did that impacted recommendation or analysis over the period.
Another might be something of a poll, not sure. I suspect there has been a lot of information many here would never be aware of had the pandemic not occurred. In what ways has this stimulated people’s interests in new areas or knowledge? In what ways did the new information and views spark new thoughts on old, familiar subjects (if at all)?
