Nope, Dr. Christopher Murray from the University of Washington IMHE doesn't think so.
Youyang Gu COVID model
"The model is unique in applying machine learning to derive the basic reproduction number (R0) from data published by Johns Hopkins University's Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE), and it seeks to minimize the error between its projections and CSSE data on the number of United States COVID-19 deaths.[3][4]"

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I take that this “Dr Murray” disapproval is good for Gua’s reputation?
I’ve followed Gua from early on and his model consistently beat all others and was used by establishment types.
