"Instead, Dr Nabarro is advocating for a new approach to containing the virus.".
Too bad the article does not mention what the alternative is. The article feels like a hollow statement.

He is not presenting this as a scientific theory. This is a keynote speech for NASA folks. Just like science fiction is not science, it may still inspire scientists and be worth listening to IMHO.
Though I can see it helps in the analysis of a specific event, I feel to grasp how to use it to map risks a priori (in the area of cyber security). The total number of possible threat events run in the billions if you count all the possible threat actors, threats, vulnerabilities and impacts.
In the linked article, "car skids on wet road into tree" is just one event. Well, it could also have blown a tire or hit a cyclist instead. Do I make separate bow tie for each of those events? And how do I add up those risks? Risk/car owners just want to know how safe their car is. How does it help to map all possible failure modes? And if this is not the right method for it, what is?
Also I don't understand why the first Mona Lisa results in a picture that when pixelated again, wouldn't produce the original pixelated picture. It is as if the create a face inspirated by the original, but not one that could ever be the original.
True. But with that sort of job you probably won't have regular 1-on-1's. You just get told to flip more hamburgers.
And it also depends on your own attitude what kind of relationship your establish with your manager.
I'm a professional and I don't need a boss who tells me what to do or how to do it: that part I'll find out by myself. But my manager needs to know what I'm doing and what issues I could use help with (like problems that need attention of upper management) and occasionally I'll ask for backing for a decision that might have consequences for our or other teams.
So this feels like a useful but very lopsided list.
But of course, my bad. To be honest it never occurred to me that it could be. But the comparison with classic cars makes perfect sense.
So I made an appointment and talked to the investigator. He told me someone placed an order at a web shop, then hacked the iDeal transaction, the electronic payment system in the Netherlands. My home IP address showed up in the logging. I asked him what the IP address was and I confirmed it was indeed my IP address. For the investigator, this was a sure sign I was the hacker, because who on earth knows his IP address by heart unless you're a hacker? Yeah, I know, not a very smart move.
I told him why my IP address had shown up: the scraper had visited the store to update prices. And I told him if I was able to hack iDeal transactions I wouldn't have bothered to make a transaction for a few hundred Euro's. In the end it turned out someone had just placed an order, had it delivered, but didn't pay the invoice afterwards.
After a couple of months I received a letter stating I was no longer a suspect, and that seemed the end of end. But not quite: whenever I buy some form of insurance, one of the questions is if I have ever been suspected of fraud. Answer yes and there's a good chance the insurer will refuse. Answer no, and I'm actually committing fraud and the insurance may not be valid. It's also inconvenient as the same question comes up during screening (I'm a security officer now).
Lesson learned: my home router now routes all traffic through Mullvad. Just in case.
That's what you get if you use a black box for judging :-)
