Maybe in developing good prediction models and in supporting epidemiologists?

Please have a look at this useful link.

Preprint MATHEMATICAL PREDICTIONS FOR COVID-19 AS A GLOBAL PANDEMIC

I think mathematical (or statistical) predictions could help the politics making better decisions. But more important mathematicians could help biologists and physicist with better modellisation fot the accelation of the expereiments.

Please go through the attached published paper.

Of course, it's a pandemic.

WHO has declared that COVID-19 is occurring in pandemic form that has taken the lives of many people in the world.

Developing mathematical models to predict efficacy of PCR and vaccines, risk of deaths in different age groups and individuals with certain existing commorbidities, economical impact of Covid 19 and many more that requires numerical analysis to facilitate accurate predictions.
