The problem is clean data, always. The software and people who can perform the math and the programming are everywhere around the world, using either python or R, and are doing this every day, its called medical research.
But collecting, making the data clean enough for statistical research, and having all the correct data, is nearly impossible without long highly controlled studies where all variables are able to be isolated and controlled and measured.
With an airborne communicable disease, about as difficult as a villager who plays golf everyday qualifying for the champions tour. Just think about modern medicine today and "modern medicine" 200+ years ago.
The other observation about today's world and pandemic: observe how difficult it is to manage the world's population with just information. and the ability of foreign actors to pray on the human foibles of survival processing information with disinformation and other information destabilization techniques. . .
This pandemic and the world responses are the most interesting study in mass and human psychology in modern times. fascinating. . .
