And what model does the person from Harvard suggest be used instead?

The same fake model science they use for global warming.

This model: COVID-19 Projections

The IHME model is what Trump is using to justify opening the country. The reason the model bounces up and down should be easy enough to understand. It is always easier to look back in the past when all the data is known, then to be in the present with new data coming in daily. Lets see what would happen to any model, and treat is as if each day or time period is a addition to the data, then as if it was already there. I would expect that any model would suffer. Good enough right now is better than perfect six months from now.

Indeed.

Complain and throw stones not without a superior action suggestion.

I believe the point of the article is that models because of their lack of precision are not a good basis for public policy. So I guess that means none.
