Want to know something scary? We really don’t even know how many people have been tested for the coronavirus, never mind how many have it.

Torvalds admits that when he started, “I worried about missing human interaction — not just talking to people in the office and hallways, but going out to lunch etc. It turns out I never really missed it.”
