What would the numbers look like without mitigations? There are certainly some flu seasons that are 2x worse than average. I imagine that the cutoff between no action and hard mitigation would be a 10x flu event. It seems plausible to me th

A gene is like a DLL. Asking how it works would require a lot of know-how that’s specific to the usage. When talking about how DNA is an instruction for making a protein, that protein is your data structure or a function. The next level of
