There were periods of time when I would look at the site two or three times a week, but often just to check the āadjusted prevalenceā numbers, which are hidden by default under the āDetailsā dropdown.Oh, yeah, prevalence hasnāt changed much, no need to update cached models, cool. Probably worth ~$20 aggregated.
The biggest update for me was realizing that going to the dentist was much less risky than it intuitively felt. This was great, probably worth at least $100 (or, I dunno, maybe worth negative money if the dentist is actually net harmful to me, which is possible š)
Iād agree that quantification of risks for Long Covid: probably at least $200.
Updates for future variants: probably at least $50.
Thanks for sharing that! I guess Iād be willing to pay $500 (per year? maybe more than that per year?) for someone to do the math for me and keep it updated as new data comes in. (For example, the findings I mentioned here). I think part of it is that Iād just prefer to spend my free time doing other things; part of it is that Iām not very good at evaluating studies, so I donāt trust that my attempts to update on new information would necessarily be valid.
(I did read your post back when you wrote it, and Zvi, Scott, and Matt Bellās posts around the same time, and kind of hand-waved my way to bumping my weekly budget to ~400 microCOVIDs, then roughly 1000 before Omicron kicked up, but am at a loss for how to update it as new findings come in.)

Have you seen this estimate? Itās not a full calculator but lists sources enough that you can do your own math.
