In some ways the author was already behind the times. As recently as 1995 there were graduate students in Houston repurposing circuit simulation software to study biochemical pathways. I imagine in the intervening quarter century more tailo

Once you are unemployed you do have to pay for your health insurance, but it's heavily subsidized, costing (as a 50 year old) around 200 a month. Compare that to 1200 per month in the USA. It's a huge difference.

Delta is more infective than Alpha. The mortality rate is comparable if not worse, but it's hard to say as we've had extensive vaccination, which has made it hard to assess. We're lucky for the moment with Omicron, but there
