Y2K returns
Via the fact-gatherers:
Spain reported a large number of young kids "dying" from the "virus", then found out later that the deaths of 0-9 year olds were actually 100-109 year olds. Their database handled only two digits.
Bigger point, as fucking always, obvious from the fucking start: This "virus" has always "killed" people who were already dying. It's a rebrand, an intentional arbitrary transfer from one column to another. An accounting trick that Kills Granny without being detected.
When a person dies at 101, it's not a death from a disease, it's a miraculously long life.
BIGGEST POINT: WHERE IN THE FUCK ARE THE MOTHERFUCKING EDITORS? What happened to careful measurement and careful debugging?
I wouldn't let this type of error happen in my courseware, which is infinitely less important than public "health" stats. The grades are just a small part of a course grade, if the teacher chooses to count them.
