During the COVID-19 pandemic, both the promise and perils of using infectious disease transmission models to make public health policy decisions became clearer than ever. Optimal use of modeled output requires that public health policy makers be informed consumers of models, that they understand the strengths and limitations of possible approaches, and they know the right questions to ask about the vulnerabilities of the model results.

Until you try, it seem unachievable. Thank you Coursera, thank you John Hopkins University for this.
Professor Emily Gurly does a great job outlining the key elements to understand models of infectious disease.
A nice course to be exposed to the role of Model Studies in Policy/Decision Making
it was clear and easy to understand. I highly recommend this course to the epidemiology and MPH students.
