@Kampfkarren @ben_throop I guess the plus side, per https://t.co/0AATkfxxdq is that hands are done correctly. But movement shouldn't be teleport. VR is just too finicky to get right. I stand by my blog post. A decade minimum (from 2015), probably more like two.

@mwotton @donpark 1918 was disastrous. No way it was 2.5% mortality. I'm going with the midpoint of 2% and 20% the experts estimated, so ~10%.

@donpark "Scholars estimate the mortality rate is between about 2% and 20%. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that at least 50 million people worldwide died from the H1N1 virus in 1918 and 1919, out of the approximately 500 million people who were infected."

@donpark these numbers.. I'm not sure they are right. Google 1918 mortality rate. I see 10% which sounds far more correct than the 2.5% listed here. No way in hell 1918 had that low of a mortality rarte.
