      Personally, I haven’t. I have been doing other projects and not had the opportunity to work on covid data.
      However, statisticians all over the country (and the world) are now using statistics every day to model the number of cases and to help governments understand the transmission rates of the virus.
      Many of my friends and colleagues are doing this. And I think that statisticians will be studying the virus for years to come.
      I think you’d agree, that since the pandemic started everyone is now much more aware of statistics as a subject and how it is very useful to us!
