Computer code for Prof Lockdown's model....is a 'mess which would get you fired in private industry'

Daily Mail
Modelling from Imperial College London epidemiologist Prof Ferguson, who stepped down from the government's Sage group at the start of May, has been described as unreliable by experts, while tests of the model have pulled together different results, The Telegraph reports.
David Richards, co-founder of British data technology company WANdisco, said: 'In our commercial reality we would fire anyone for developing code like this and any business that relied on it to produce software for sale would likely go bust.'
