Humanity is already a garbage race so **** it I'll say what I want and if I'm held accountable for it by my fellow garbage then it's all dark poetry.

I know what you mean.

I’m also frightened of social unrest as well though.

Another part of me even wishes the virus was worse so it would be more likely to completely decimate our economy and the world economy and could somehow force the world to reset putting all people on equal footing globally.

I thought what if this really causes us to default on the debt and the dollar is devalued worldwide to the point of making the dollar a worthless world currency. Maybe that would be enough to wipe out all debt of any kind worldwide. I’m just rambling but I’ve heard them speculate 50 million unemployed in the US is coming. And the supply chain could be severely disrupted. I mean, aviation is dead world wide. That alone is a lot. Famine even in western countries isn’t unthinkable.

NewsHour said cases in the Middle East doubled in one week to 60,000 confirmed cases.

Fears coronavirus can HIDE in cells and reactivate later after 51 recovered patients test positive again

This headline in clickbait but it does worry me that this virus has a “phase 2” or might reoccur like herpes. I don’t think it’s in a family of viruses that do that, though. Totally non-scientific take on my part and a weak source as well.

But like Trump, I got a “hunch”

I'm kinda curious how this compares to the Spanish Flue which killed millions but ended up being a blip on the historical radar. Like this hella matters to us but will it have a similarly negligible effect on world history?

Might depend on us tbh. A hundred years ago people might have had a more blase attitude toward death especially without modern medicine and modern journalism.

Remember the Black Plague? Those were the good ol' days.

I imagine the infant mortality rate, the mortality rate in hospitals, etc probably gave people a different attitude towards death a hundred years ago that might have given them a different perspective on a pandemic than now where mortality is much lower but also where we don't have a real relationship with death and so it seems like almost a cartoon villain we don't believe is real and coming for us. It just seems like a mindset that is completely different from a hundred years ago that will make our response to this pandemic pretty interesting.
