Sorry again. As of right now, there are active 2,359,332 with 161,950 deaths and 606,675 recovered patients. Scientist have the world’s fastest computers (16 supercomputers to help speed the discovery of vaccines and drugs to combat the novel coronavirus) and Folding@Home’s Cluster computer system available. Yet, they are only now doing a small scale test?

It is mind-boggling how stupid science is.

Models are cheap. Verification experiments are time-consuming and expensive. Models without verification experiments are worthless.

Add to that the fact that there are millions of possible scenarios that "could" happen, and you are asking that which is impossible to do, as, even with just modelling, the number of combinations approaches infinity as a limit.

"It is mind-boggling how stupid science is."

What is really mind-boggling is how uninformed your notions are.
