In the build up to the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals started preparing for the worst. On a normal day, they operate at or around 100 per cent capacity. But in the past few weeks – during this pandemic – something strange has happened. Those numbers have dropped. But why? In this episode, we explore that question, and also look at why ACEMS researchers are closely tracking hospital emergency department data. The Random Sample is a podcast by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellencefor Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers. In this show, we share stories about mathematics, statistics and the people involved. To learn more about ACEMS, visit https://acems.org.au.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
