Comments

Jamaica had an increase of 10 cases. There is a growing expectation that Kingston will be locked down in the coming days. The situation is being monitored very closely.

Here are some links that are very interesting:

• How Scientists Quantify the Intensity of an Outbreak Like COVID-19
• IHME COVID-19 model FAQs | Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation
• Oliver Wyman Pandemic Navigator
• Coronavirus Outbreak: Know 5 recent studies on the COVID-19

I remind members that both the SOA and the IFOA have a lot of current information that is both helpful and interesting. These and others are linked on our website’s Resources page.

Feedback welcome.

Thank you.
