In the time that has passed since I put together basic information on COVID-19 and the principles of epidemic spread, data about this disease and the virus that causes it has been accumulating at an unprecedented rate.

One of the big challenges here is evaluating the data. Peer review, the usually slow, deliberative process by which science checks its facts and assumptions, is under immense pressure to get things right, quickly. A journalist from the Canadian Press interviewed me and others on the subject. Here is the link to that article.
