Group news: After half a year under revision, our article on the use of the Gompertz Function for short-time predictions of #COVID-19 spreading has just appeared in #PLOSCompBio: Empirical model for short-time prediction of COVID-19 spreading dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa… 1/
We are happy it sees the light. It was a huge effort to set up the method for all of us: @CatalaMarti @kilocurie @CodinaLopez @pjcardona14 @prats_clara with the impressive push of Sergio Alonso @SergioAlonsoMun at the beginning of the pandemia. 2/
We had calibrated the method with the available data form Chinese provinces and applied to a large set of countries around the world, where we have regularly added in our web page the predictions at different levels. 3/ 
And even more important, we conveniently calculated the confidence interval for all the short-time predictions. The data employed in the article is right now outdated, however, we still use the method in our daily studies given its large one-week accuracy. Happy it is out!! 4/
