<abstract displayLabel="Summary">The volume of research on COVID-19 is huge; the preprint service medrxiv.org (which publishes pre-peer-reviewed papers) has around 8,000 papers, while Google shows almost 6bn related web pages. Rather than try to summarise everything, we thought it would help  actuaries tackle future problems (and second waves?) if we consider what we have learned about data and model risks. To model the pandemic, its likely outcomes and mitigation strategies, it is essential to have a reliable and consistent source of data, the two most important items being the numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths.</abstract>
