See my other comment. I was comparing to one of the viruses that causes a COLD not influenza.

Colds are quite different to flues.

I was comparing with a cold not with influenza.

We could try to make the comparison you are suggesting instead. But to make a valid comparison we need to consider:

Is influenza infectious for 10 days before any symptoms show?

How many people get the influenza vaccine each year? I.e. is there some herd immunity built up?

The symptoms of influenza are universally nasty for everyone infected. No one with the flu is walking around and going to work (if you think do then you don't have the influenza virus you have a cold). It seems that at least some people with this new corona virus just have cold like symptoms and therefore will not by default be self-isolating like people with influenza naturally do.

I never said 50% of the population have the same cold at once. 50% catching it over a 6 month period is very reasonable.

Peak cold symptoms last about 3 days. I never said 50% of the population have the same cold at once. 50% catching it over a 6 month period is very reasonable.

It seems to be as infectious as a cold. So no.

Telemetry is 100% not a viable fit for an open source project. A very significant proportion of your potential users will either keep it disabled or if that is not possible (which would be illegal in the EU anyway) not use your software.

Just ask your users.

> Also about telemetry if all power users turn it off then you can have situations where developers will drop a feature because they don't use it and there is no data to show that more then 12 people are using it.

Yet another reason not to put telemetry in your software.

We actually broadly agree that it is a shame that Apple don't support their Unix utilities.

Not sure why people think they can rely on the pre-installed Unix utilities on macOS.

EDIT: Apple routinely don't update the Unix utilities for a decade...

I would not even know where to buy one!

Why would someone want to clean so many bathrooms?

Do middle class Americans clean their own homes?
