Comments
1️⃣ Operational planning vs scientific research to inform outbreak control
2️⃣ Frequency and timescale of outbreak-related tasks
3️⃣ Funding timescales and sustainability
4️⃣ Resource availability and scalability beyond funding
5️⃣ More complexity benefits from more perspectives
6️⃣ Data sensitivities and governance affect the type of modelling studies to outsource
7️⃣ Refining these considerations in future
"Overall, the design of holistic outbreak control strategies would require both academia and governments to work together and provide two-way feedback on the modelling outputs derived from upstream operations and downstream research."
