COVID 19 has dramatically changed the lifestyles of people around the globe. In the midst of pandemic, all of us are struggling to lead a “normal” life that we have been used to: many have lost their jobs, homes, and so on. While the first responders, e.g., police, physicians, nurses, grocery vendors are keeping us afloat risking their lives to COVID, as statisticians, we have other challenges to overcome. In this talk, I will informally talk about challenges and opportunities that pandemic brings to the life of a statistician, and hope to have a fruitful discussion with colleagues and students.
