Correct. Wuhan Virus is not even close to the black plague. But the economic damage has already been done. It will all come to light over time measured in quarters, not months. A vaccine with a very high prevention rate will not come fast enough, if at all. This is called creative destruction. And lives move forward and adapt. Unfortunately, coincidentally or not, politics is heavily involved... One party will exacerbate the damage.

Never worried about the Virus, but the damage done hell yes, got that right
People are wising up, but not all and not quick enough, when Florida is over and no big deal without lockdowns hopefully about 6weeks out then, then hopefully the FEAR will be erased.
We have a 10pm -6 am curfew and no way to enforce it. People are business as usual.
When 98% of the population are asleep, so not going to make a huge difference.
I can't imagine how 0.1% is "more honest" (or even more bewilderingly, "small") when it reflects the same number. Are you looking for something that feels smaller to you personally?
Hundreds of thousands of dead people is still the same horrifying number in a personal sense that it always was. Whatever games you want to play with it, that number of deaths does not change. And you're doing exactly the same thing that you accuse the media of doing - which is emotionally-manipulative games around numbers. What makes your game better than theirs?
What we need are decisions that are as realistic and distortion-free as possible in the face of catastrophe. And catastrophe is the correct classification for anything that kills hundreds of thousands of human beings in a few months.
That's what I'm seeing. And given that a number of my acquaintances are in the medical field - nurses, doctors, researchers - and they, from what I see during personal contact, are unable to follow safety protocols during their off time (touching their faces, not wearing masks at all times during contact with the public, not sanitizing their hands as often as they really should)... what chance does the average Joe have?
Human nature makes it impossible. Which devolves to my earlier point... we're just going to take the deaths that result and go back to business as usual, simply because there's nothing else we can do.
My chess teacher once taught me that sometimes the fear of making a move is more powerful than making the move itself. It's the unknown that scares people... that moves people:Only if the people are SCARED shitless by a relentless media, blowing everything and every death into a OMG this could be you, without explaining it's very unlikely to be you unless your 85+ and seriously ill at the same time.
Add the FEAR and they've bent over and taken it well, screaming please save me, without all back to normal
The FEAR is slowly going, UK's went from ( my estimate 90% too scared to leave there houses to 40% still worried, kinda realising don't know anyone who's died as the deaths are actually very low 1 in 1000, or 1 in 20,000 if you don't know many 75+ year olds )
- You MIGHT be a carrier
- Corona COULD stay active and alive for over a month
- Could the virus be transmitted by looking at someone?
This thing is a very real threat, with lots of young people being hospitalized recently as well.

Mine taught me you'll never lose a game if your prepared to sit and wait for your opponent to quit or die.
Looking at lol
Millions out of 7BILLION, old plague black death without treatment would of killed 2 Billion and 1 day could happen, 6,996,000,000 won't die look at it that way.
