I think the downvotes were not for asking people to look at it, but because the comment can come off as overly dismissive of the severity of the situation.
Maybe, I'm not really a polite person. I think using a working formula for f would greatly help to evaluate the consequences of actions and helps to detect outbreaks early.
In my area they made masks mandatory and cut down the protection of hospitals - now we have an infected nurse. I think politicians currently are using seriously wrong models for their actions.
I had a discussion with one of the "official" epidemiologists. It went like the discussion with you - just at the point where we are now he decided to go into all-caps swearing, said that he will never look into this, called his models perfect and then blocked me.
