Quote: 36,000 people in the USA
The big heal is for two reasons.
- The figure you quoted is the outcome after vaccination
- The death rate for the flu is roughly 0.2% of the infections. Coronavirus is averaging about 2.5 to 3% death rate and this figure would be a lot higher when it gets to 3rd world countries
Hence, as there is no vaccination yet for coronavirus the death rate in USA would be significantly higher, if it is left to chance.

Your point is well taken. But I guess my point is that we should take flu in all its forms more seriously. It can kill in any variant. And the current flu shots here in the USA are not very effective. My entire extended family of 7 people got their shots a couple of months back. And 6 of the 7 came down with the flu a couple of weeks ago.

One minor limitations of vaccinations is that the vaccination you get in the northern hemisphere is based on the flu that was around in the southern hemisphere's prior winter and visa versa for us in the southern hemisphere. During the months in between the flu virus can and does mutate a little which may reduce the effectiveness.
Also the body does take a few weeks to build its defense from the vaccinations and if you get the flu a few weeks after you van still be effected. Hence the earlier in the season you get vaccinated the better before the flu virus start to infect the populace.

I hate being blocked while I've got a project stewing. I've been blocked on my finite automata/regex unicode engine for over a week until late last night.
Now I've got Rolex running under its own steam again (instead of using the GPLEX engine) and I'm prepared to make Lexly be able to significantly optimize its regex bytecode, which could prove to be an interesting article.
It feels really good to be unblocked now.

I had been stuck for two weeks on something that just wouldn't work and was getting depressed about it. I fixed mine last night.

I have my own svn server box down at my office. I use commits as check points as I go. When it worked I felt like making a big ruckus but the while my wife is a smartie and aware of my block, she's not a coder. So I selected commit, put "OMG it finally works" in the commit message and brought the laptop to the bedroom where she was and said, "Would you like to do the honers and click OK"?
It's gonna be a good day with snacks and the super bowl.

Such a good feeling.
And I got lexly up running using the new engine just now, so yay - although there are still bugs in Lexly/Lex optimizing compiler itself. For now it works with unoptimized bytecode which at least is a start.
Although i may have to tear that all apart and start again. The problem with emitting bytecode is it works a bit like one of those old scantron forms from school. Because each address is a location within the program stream if you add or remove anything you have to update all the code that follows it. There's not much I can do about that. Emitting is delicate, no matter how you abstract it.
Well, it gives me something to do.

Especially at family reunions.
I've heard compiler people are a special group.

inspired me too, myself just woke up from a nice [IMO well deserved] Sunday afternoon nap not long after first reading this.
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

a professional cyclist can ride over 100 miles non stop in well under a day (tour da frogolia has an approx 230 km / 142 miles stage). some people struggle to do 10 without a couple of long breaks.

You are given a machine with SSD but your development environment runs in a slow VM beacuse of policies....

slow VM?
these days most run close to native - (they pretty much do run native apart from some dev I/O).
Is yours some sort of [other-than-host] CPU emulator?

VM sits somewhere else not on the same machine.

If it is Hyper-V then a lot can be done by fine-tuning the number of virtual processors and memory.
But I also experienced a hardware problem on a server that throttled network performance, it was only solved after replacing the server, now everything runs twice as fast.
