George Hotz is also making a valiant attempt. Starting from scratch, he's made a surprising amount of progress in the last 3 days. Armed with just a web browser and python. [VIDEO]

If you have many hours to spare, you can watch George Hotz dive into the details. One of the take-aways is that the Corona virus is a Sars, not a flu. [VIDEO] If your take is that Sars is just another flu, then I guess you just broadened the scope of the flu, and need to be open for the idea that the 'flu' could be more dangerous than you thought.
