Thank you for that remarkable bit of first hand information. I think there were instances where policy makers were making decisions based on models and projections when they should have done what your son did, that is looked at reality. I think Berenson in his book, Pandemia, noted a disconnect between an actual hospital census and the overblown models used to make bad policy. Apparently theories outweigh facts with these people.

Theories might bring in more money than inconvenient facts in some instances. A few billion dollars has a lot of gravity.
