Criticism of code[edit]

Code Review of Ferguson’s Model. Some people are anonymously criticising the released code for the model used in predictions. Is it worthy of including in the article (probably from anther source)? --Error (talk) 13:21, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move to MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis?[edit]

It's weird to have a page for the "response team" and none for the centre when the faculty are essentially nearly identical to the faculty of the centre. I think this should be moved to a page about the centre itself and then specific stuff about the centre's covid response in a subsection. Does anyone object to that? Cheers.

This seems sensible enough to me, having an article about a response team seems a little odd, however, it's having major impact, so not surprising Shadowssettle_(talk) 15:06, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Attomir and Yug: I feel you might have a problem with this Shadowssettle_(talk) 15:06, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problems with it. – attomir (talk | contribs) 16:18, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The center should be also covered but I created this Response Team article in the urgency of early covid crisis and the Response Team "high" news coverage. Current content is fully centered upon this Response Team. If someone is ready to write a more generalist page about the center, it is very much welcome. Yug (talk) 12:19, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I created a stub here: MRC_Centre_for_Global_Infectious_Disease_Analysis but having done so I'm wondering if there's really enough content to do both as organisations; maybe this article should be specifically about the reports, instead of the team itself, to provide more separation?
