Gotta do something to spice things up around here...
I will donate $200 to the charity of the winner's choice.
RULES:
This will be graded and a winner will be declared ON THE DAY THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION NO LONGER CONSIDERS COVID-19 A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. No time limit.
Grading formula is (difference between prediction and actual number of cases) + (difference between prediction and actual number of deaths x 25))
As an example, let's say you predict 1,000,000 cases and 10,000 deaths,
Actual number comes in at 1,150,000 cases and 12,000 deaths.
Your score would be 150,000 + (2,000 x 25) for a total final score of 200,000.
the poster with the lowest score is declared the winner.
You are NOT ALLOWED TO POST THE EXACT SAME SET OF NUMBERS AS A PREVIOUS POSTER.
In the very unlikely event of a tie, the poster closest on the number of cases will be declared the winner. Second tiebreak is closest on number of deaths.
If ComptrBob is willing, I will have him verify all results.
