Data Science Tutorial: How Does Outbreak Prediction Work?

The video discusses outbreak prediction, focusing on the importance of understanding and modeling disease spread. It introduces exponential growth and SIR models, explaining their applications and limitations. The tutorial uses Google Colab to visualize data and emphasizes the significance of social distancing in controlling pandemics. The presenter, Jordan, provides disclaimers and encourages viewers to consider the broader impact of their actions during a pandemic.
