Abstract
Key messages
Mathematical modelling is intrinsically difficult given the complexity of relationships between parameters and difficulty quantifying those parameters
Modelling needs input from a much wider range of sources including domain experts
Data sharing and communication of results could be improved
Policy makers and the public often had poor understanding of key concepts such as exponential growth and the limitations of long-term forecasting
