Neil Ferguson made the wuflu computer model that has this country shut down. The source code was just made public. The program he made produces non-deterministic outputs. That means entering the same data will get you different results each time you plug them in. IT WAS NEVER BASED ON SCIENCE. (www.zerohedge.com)

It's worse than that. One input variable into this garbage code is R0. Imagine being able to tell the model exactly how infectious you want the disease to be in the model. BOOM! 2.2 MILLION USA DEATHS!

To think that supposedly smart people bough into this BS is the most infuriating part. But of course, unelected government 'fauxicials' can't ever be wrong.

on top of that, according to the article, Microsoft tried to cover up the "bugs" in the program before releasing it. More Gates fuckery. I am furious.

One input variable into this garbage code is R0.

In Wuhan in the first few weeks, when saying anything was wrong at all was a Racist Conspiracy Theory™, the calculated R was above 8.

In South Korea, we were looking at an R of about 6 in Daegu, and something below 4 in the rest of the country.

In the US, the R has been declining. Six weeks ago, the median was 1.1, today it's 0.9.

Any virus-modeling software that did not offer the option to input different values for R0 would have been worthless.
