Polyglotconf intro to node.js

If you're interested in learning more in person, VanJS (@vanjs) often has node-related content.

And like Rob and Brock mentioned in the session, they're starting up the Vancouver Node Brigade (@NodeBrigade) for a more node-focused meetup.

FMWK = { 'hulk' : 'smash' }
FMWK.button = function() {
  var _this = this;
  console.log(this.hasOwnProperty('hulk') ? "HULK SMASH" : "");
  this.el = document.createElement('button');
  ['hide','show'].forEach(function(method){
    FMWK.button.prototype[method] = function(){
      $(_this.el)[method].apply($(_this.el), Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments));
     }
  });

Covid vaccination scenarios

For basic model/math, see: https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/52/7/911/299077

It also provides a good definition of "herd immunity", which is a cumulative incidence of 0 over the lifetime of an unvaccinated individual. I.e., even if you can't get vaccinated, you are extraordinarily unlikely to catch the disease.

That also suggests a good definition for "back to normal" -- to wit, that we go back to our previous chance of catching Covid, zero.

Critical vaccination threshold for herd immunity for a given R0 and E:
