− | [[Cueball]] | + | [[Cueball]] created another COVID exposure model to help lower his risk of catching COVID-19 in the pandemic. [[Megan]] inquires about the model's result, to which Cueball admits that he's been sitting at his computer continuously debugging models, and draws the conclusion that debugging COVID-19 models lessens close contact with other people. This is similar to the premise of [[1708: Dehydration]], except the situation is reversed—instead of researching something as a preventive action resulting in a beneficial effect, it gives a detrimental effect. |
− | + | Cueball is too busy making models to figure out how to actually lower his risk other than sitting around doing effectively nothing. He has also created a meta-model, reporting the number of models Cueball has to create to wait the pandemic out. The title text further expands on recursive graphs by charting charts about COVID-19. | |
