Episode 10 of the podcast Let’s Learn Everything! starts with a discussion of this incident and the ways that epidemiologists have studied it to draw real-world parallels.

It’s a great comedy/science podcast; I strongly recommended it.

Would've been perfect if Arthas or whoever spread dangerous misinformation.

He was one crazy mofo. He would’ve got in the octagon with Elon and the Zuck the same time and would’ve won. Not his fault the suckers forgot to bring a gun.

scytale , to technology in John David McAfee, author of the first commercial anti-virus software, was born on Sept 18th 1945

I have a photo with him when he showed up at a Defcon afterparty a couple of years back. Dude definitely was on something, but he was all smiles and happy to take pictures with everyone.
