The Bedford analysis offers two different scenarios for crowd counts of 600,000 people, based on news sources and Wikipedia estimates of daily protests in more than 400 cities.

One estimate is low, assuming a fatality rate of 0.5% and a transmission rate of 0.9 one person with the disease infects, on average, 0.9 others. This scenario would lead to 1,500 new infections each day and 15,000 secondary infections among protestors friends and family, eventually causing 50 to 75 deaths. The higher estimate assumes a transmission rate of 0.95 and a fatality rate of 1%. This scenario would lead to 3,000 new infections a day and a total of 54,000 secondary infections, causing 500-540 deaths.

they would have to put some limits it. it wouldn't be able to be as open ended as the PnP game. but they could try. I could see them putting in a large number of spells to make up for it. like imagine if there was like 1000 different spells in the game you could cast

It might be easier to make it a physics sandbox with a morrowind like spell maker. It might be janky as hell but it could be amazing fun.

Otherwise I think they'll make it like VTM and just have set spells for each sphere and limit the combinations you can have through story or something.

Some good news for people today.

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-53061281
A cheap and widely available drug can help save the lives of patients seriously ill with coronavirus.

The low-dose steroid treatment dexamethasone is a major breakthrough in the fight against the deadly virus, UK experts say.


For patients on ventilators, it cut the risk of death from 40% to 28%. For patients needing oxygen, it cut the risk of death from 25% to 20%.

Chief investigator Prof Peter Horby said: "This is the only drug so far that has been shown to reduce mortality - and it reduces it significantly. It's a major breakthrough."

I stand corrected. Here's an article from the end of last week. I just have no idea of this news site is considered legit or not:
https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/09/coronavirus-whats-the-risk-for-george-floyd-protesters/
But that forecast toll fueled by an estimated 15,000 to 54,000 new infections spread during crowded chants, clashes and arrests is relatively small compared to the overall U.S. epidemic, representing about a 3% to 6% increase above the nations total new daily infections, reports Trevor Bedford, a computational biologist at Seattles Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Institute who studies the spread of viruses.

The Bedford analysis offers two different scenarios for crowd counts of 600,000 people, based on news sources and Wikipedia estimates of daily protests in more than 400 cities.

One estimate is low, assuming a fatality rate of 0.5% and a transmission rate of 0.9 one person with the disease infects, on average, 0.9 others. This scenario would lead to 1,500 new infections each day and 15,000 secondary infections among protestors friends and family, eventually causing 50 to 75 deaths. The higher estimate assumes a transmission rate of 0.95 and a fatality rate of 1%. This scenario would lead to 3,000 new infections a day and a total of 54,000 secondary infections, causing 500-540 deaths.

New COVID-19 cases (blue) acquired at protests or elsewhere can lead to successive rounds of infections (orange) in others. Because the epidemic is not yet controlled, experts expect a cascade of infections from one infection in the community. (Source: Trevor Bedford.)

If the virus is present in 0.5% of the general population, an estimated 3,000 protesters could have active infections and pose a risk to others. The U.S. has 1.5 million current infections, and 20,000 new cases are confirmed every day, on average.

I loved that SF3 was mostly new characters.

The story reason they justified replacing the roster is irrelevant in a discussion about the impact it had on the series popularity and what they eventually did to bring back old fans by adding them back in.

Nobody is going to come forward and attempt to put any sort of estimate on how many deaths due to coronavirus the protests have caused. It's political suicide.

I don't think statues of any kind should be destroyed. That's the kind of crap that historically has only happened when a conquering nation wanted to wipe out the history of the conquered, or what ISIS does to destroy anything they feel is blasphemous.

Put it in a museum, lock it in storage, sell it in an auction... I don't really care how you get rid of it, but destroying them is savagery. Preservation of history, no matter how vile, should be a high priority in any developed nation.

Not only because that is how we remember the past to avoid repeating it, but because there are entire civilizations lost to ancient history because all of their artifacts were destroyed by people who felt they weren't worth preserving.

The problem with three was that it replaced the entire roster, something they fixed by third strike by reintroducing old characters.

You can do the legacy thing, but it has to be phased-in. You can't replace an entire Series roster and then expect people to care.

And some of the new characters ended up being so popular that they were added back in to four and five.

With 50 percent off, it basically is buying one and getting 1 free if you get 5 or more

That's just you being manipulated by the concept of sales. If I wanted a $30 game and I got a second one half off that only cost me $45. If I have to buy 5 $30 games to get the same discount I've spent $75 and convinced myself that I saved a lot of money.

Even if I think I'm being clever and I get four $5 games and one $50 game used, I may be at $35, only now I'm probably sitting on a pile of games I never wanted in the first place. And the odds of every other title being only $5 is pretty low.

Which is weird because they basically live streamed the first few days so there's plenty of video evidence that there were problems.

Now that people are starting to report on this, we've hit that point where people are going to determine what they want to be true and then just write off any evidence to the contrary.
