Farewell o_e_l_e_o

A very quick overview on the forum virus spread.

How many victims?
1059, in total, include the case-0, Sanitough.

Incubation period till having symptoms, in days.
Maybe there are bugs because I saw some extreme outliers in data. If in real life, there is a virus with such incubation period, it will totally destroy our world. Anyway, it is a joke. Cheesy

Code:

periodday | 1058.0 1.3 24.5 0.0 0.0 0.1 0.0 758.2

There are details on those extreme outliers:

That was definitely perplexing at first but obviously in no time got to know it was BTC-COVID-19 virus which has spread across the forum.

I wish there would have been choice to make an anti-dote and see who wins! Just some random competition in a thread with anti-decoding!

Cool tricks played! loved it.

And here I thought I was making myself useful by practicing social distancing. Just kidding. Happy April Fools! Stay safe as well, theymos and to everyone.

How it worked is that whenever a post was made, an infection had a 50% chance of passing from the new post to the previous post, or from the previous post to the new post. In other words, it was passed between adjacent posts. (But the random number generation was deterministic, so you couldn't "force it" by repeatedly deleting&reposting something.)

Asymptomatic infection had been happening for about 12 hours before symptoms started appearing. There was only one "patient zero", Sanitough, who I chose by looking at the latest posts at an arbitrary point in time and picking the most recent one which mentioned "virus". It was basically random, and definitely not meant as any statement about Sanitough.

On Apr 1, symptoms started appearing, though the spread of the virus continued exactly as before. After 30 minutes, your name got corrupted; after 3 hours, your posts got increasingly corrupted depending on the amount of time since you were infected. The roughly 150 people infected before Mar 31 @ 23:30 had their symptoms shifted forward in time, so they ended up as "asymptomatic carriers" for up to ~12 hours.

Here's data on the virus's spread. Note that I designed this "forum virus" to be easy-to-implement and interesting; my goal was not to create any sort of realistic coronavirus model. I suppose it could perhaps serve as an illustrative example of some general concepts, though, such as exponential spread.

Happy April Fools, and stay safe & sane in these unusual times!
