Producers in Chicago and Nashville announced upcoming meetups, including a gathering at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana.

Neil Ferguson resigned from the UK's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) after violating lockdown protocols to meet a romantic partner. A professional code review of Ferguson’s influential pandemic model by the group "Lockdown Skeptics" revealed significant software engineering flaws, including non-repeatable outputs and a lack of regression testing. The review characterized the model as "stochastic," meaning its results are largely determined by random variables.
