We try as much as possible to aim for *unconditional* forecasts, but of course there are some limits to this. We don't account for the chance that one candidate drops out, for instance. Our NBA playoff odds (pre-COVID) didn't account for the season being interrupted by COVID. — PolitiTweet.org

The other philosophical point here is that you have to decide whether your forecast is a conditional forecast (holds true given certain "reasonable" assumptions) or an unconditional one (holds true given "real world" uncertainties and perhaps even some "unknown unknowns"). — PolitiTweet.org

I wish there was more explicit acknowledgment that one of the most persuasive rationales for continued distancing/lockdowns is indeed to buy time for technological improvements. Not just vaccines but also therapeutics, rapid tests, greater scientific understanding. — PolitiTweet.org
