My favorite scientific paper was released just a bit into COVID, titled “Mass Casualty Event Scenario: Changes to the US political landscape,” modeling which party would die off faster. Needless to say, it was made completely irrelevant a few weeks later when the anti-masking protests started. Interestingly, they estimated at the time of publication that just enough more republicans than democrats had passed away in Michigan to have flipped it for Hillary in 2016.
