Why? either nothing happens or this really is the apocalypse in which case it's probably better to die in the initial wave anyway

I'll ask my friend with a PhD in epi about that preprint. I'm a biostatistician so I find the idea pretty interesting, but it's not related to what I do.

from what I know epidemiologists only do meta-analyses and forest plots :p

Since trade routes aren't closed, won't the virus be transmitted by exports either in the manufacturing or shipping stage?

Like if everyone in China has this and are sneezing around the Cheap Generic Febreze factory, won't boxes of it sold at Dollar Tree or wherever spread this poo poo like wildfire?

depends on how hardy the virus is living on different surfaces. most viruses don’t last long on dry/smooth surfaces.

this wouldn't seem like a panic inducing situation if it wasn't for the fact that china is flipping the gently caress out of it, which makes me think this virus is causing cytokine storms and the deaths are vastly underreported

on the other hand, this is hell world, and china is flipping out to protect number because their bean counters saw an economic downtick from sars

Despair is a neoliberal emotion. The capitalist class wants you to lose hope so you don't feel like you can change anything in the world. Positivity and optimism are the radical emotions of the day.
