The criticisms of the code from Imperial College are strange to me. Non-deterministic code is the least of your problems when it comes to modeling the spread of a brand new disease. Whatever error is introduced by race conditions or multiple seeds is completely dwarfed by the error in the input parameters. Like, it's hard to overstate how irrelevant that is to the practical conclusions drawn from the results. Skeptics could have a field day tearing apart the estimates for the large number of input parameters to models like that, but they choose not to? I don't get it.
