Until tecently I have ignored and scoffed at the news regarding the Coronavirus/Covid-19 but all the evidence I've looked at has suggested to me that this is the real deal. Just looking at the numbers, there's 70k affected and 1.5k dead and these are the cooked up self reported numbers from the Chinese government. I'd conservatively multiply these numbers by 8 to get a more realistic estimate. So that's half a million people affected and more than 10k are probably dead. They say your chances of dying are 2% but that number is still climbing due to the fact people are still clinging to life in hospitals. I suspect the death rate is as high as 5-10% with treatment and can go past 20% and higher if hospitals become inundated.
Some things I've contemplated:
1. If we couldn't even contain HIV which is transmitted through blood it's virtually impossible to prevent the spread of Covid-19. This is going to spread across the planet over the years and we will be living with it for the foreseeable future.
2. It's going to kill on a large scale, in the 100's or millions and more. Even with a 2-5% death rate that would wipe out over 100m between just China and India in the next 5-10 years.
3. Even if you become asymptomatic you can still be a carrier and infect others to spread the virus. Even after a Chad is 'cured' all the foids he fucks with can get very sick and die. Furthermore this virus has extraordinary staying power on surfaces of up to a week. Further cementing the fact this is never going away.
4. There have been many calls for another global financial crisis. There have been many indications of this (inverted yield curve, over 12 years since 2007, our last financial crisis). This new virus is already destroying commerce in ways that are rippling through China and into all the countries around it. For example Australia relies heavily on Chinese international students for revenue and this is going to be hit hard when prospective students are banned from traveling. Countries that depend on Chinese tourism and money/products are all going to feel the pain for many years. I forecast that stock markets will plunge, I see the housing markets taking a huge hit and a recession.
5. Many incels will undoubtedly schadenfreudemaxx from the pain and suffering of their surroundings.
