Poverty and hardship is all part of the plan. That is the desired outcome.
“Houston, we have a problem...”

And I thought it was going to be the Year 2000 rollover.
Records are made to be broken.
My main issue with the author’s objections to the code is that he maintains FORTRAN is “obsolete”. In many ways, those older languages are less prone to bugs in the hands of a skilled programmer than some of the newer ones, as less is happening behind the curtain.
FORTRAN is not a dominant language anymore, and neither is COBOL, and neither are obsolete, performing the same functions as before.
The language isn’t the issue. If there are errors, there are errors. If the program is poorly written, and unstructured, and therefore cannot be properly maintained, that is also another issue, but has nothing to do with the programming language, but the programmer.
This is a story of agenda-ists who used the work of snake oil salesman (and there are a lot in the computer modeling world) to push a worldwide economic shutdown to protect their global power.
This fake news does leave one opening though: if enough citizens demand that public policy can cite NO model that doesn't disclose all the raw data, cannot be replicated, and is not confirmed by an entity under the jurisdiction of the public policy owners.
* Snuck out of lockdown to have an ongoing sexual affair with a married woman;
* Infected that woman with the China Virus and did not tell her;
* That woman then unknowingly infected her husband and children
Neil Ferguson is a fake, a fraud, an adulterer and a spreader of a deadly disease and didn't even bother to tell the married woman he was having an affair with that he himself was infected.
Why in the world should ANYONE believe a thing this guy says or produces?
Niel Ferguson actually has a HISTORY of sky high death estimates.
His projections led to millions of British livestock killed due to hoof and mouth disease projections. And it turned out inspectors were spreading it through unsterilized shoes.
He predicted up to fifty thousand dead from mad cow disease.

He predicted up to 200 million dead from bird flu. Note that’s worse than the Wuhan virus and they still didn’t lock everything down.

That makes the hyperbolic Wuhan virus death projections his FOURTH wild projection .... used to determine policy
This presupposes the draconian prescriptions were a mistake and not advocacy. With the absence of proof of error, I lean toward advocacy.
The greatest software mistake was a file called God that took up the whole computer and then the whole universe.
Seems most/all have forgotten the 737 MAX issue. New version of software caused the pilots to be unable to correct pitch problems before loss of control. Killed over 300.
