It will be interesting to see whether the demonstrated fallibility of Corona pandemic models will modify the unconditional belief some feel for Climate Change models that deal with even far more complex phenomena over far longer periods. Both recommend incredibly expensive economic solutions to disasters predicted by their respective models. But as we have seen, models while of some use, can be wrong or very inaccurate. It's not always wise to bet the farm on them. Experience suggests that one should always leave room to change course or go into reverse in case the model doesn't pan out.
