Singapore Data-Driven Innovation Lab Claims 97% of COVID-19 Cases Will End by May 30
SOCIETY / K. Venkateshwar Rao 4 MAY 2020 Amidst the frightening figures of job losses and soaring number of COVID-19 cases, the prediction of the end of the pandemic appears like a light at the end of the tunnel. Prediction of the End of COVID-19 When more than one-third of the world’s population in lockdown and the world still clueless about the proven origin of the virus and grappling for development of a vaccine, researchers at the Data-Driven Innovation Lab of the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have come up with a novel mathematical model to predict the end of the pandemic in different countries. Based on the pattern of the spread of COVID-19 from China to the rest of the world and it’s slowing down, the researchers have predicted end dates for the coronavirus in 131 countries.
