how are the datasets collected, "curated", and sampled? you can create all kinds of pretty models for bulls**t when the data itself is suspect. See: Climate Change Science and the debunked "Hockey Stick" model of runaway Global Warming.
I agree that the science can be politicized -- just look at the jabs. I'm just saying that what agencies around the world are doing is sampling some of the positive tests and doing full genetic sequencing and releasing the information. It's probably the least political aspect of the Covid information, because changing the values accomplishes nothing, and the values can be cross-checked with other labs and countries.
