Computing D
Suppose there are L humans to walk around  to fix viruses. 
Little's laws: requests in system L = mean arrival rate λ * mean time in system W.  W=L/λ.
Obviously, "how bad things get" depends upon arrival rate λ of incidents.
(in reality, incursions can quickly progress beyond steady-state).
