barring us getting a vaccine miraculously early there's nothing we can do. it'll burn through the global population in a year or two, a lot of old people will die, and we'll go back to normal

Before a vaccine happens, one of the experimental medications currently being trialed in China will get approved as the Official Approved Treatment and the company producing that will make a shitload of money like the makers of Tamiflu did when Swine Flu was a thing.

The HIV drugs that are currently being used for treatment in China and elsewhere should probably be mass-produced. And by mass-produced, I mean "government orders drug companies to drop everything and just make the HIV drugs for a month so we don't run out".

Giddy up for a recession and that stock market correction y’all.

Ive heard posited it would be a strong net positive in countries like Japan by simultaneously rapidly culling their aging population while preserving maximum wealth transfer to younger generation by parents not spending on last mile health costs.

Ive also heard that people making that argument described as "ghoulish" and "upset that the grinch sold out"

It is also undeniably a very good thing for the planet, as people dying and a recession are directly responsible for reducing co2 emissions.

So let's just turn that frown upside down and praise papa nurgle for bestowing us this blessing of pestilence. Truly he cares deeply about our plight.

There's context there that I didn't get. For example, I didn't read the article; is it hyperbolic?

I was pretty sure, even if I ended up being wrong. Like a previous poster said, Poe's Law is a thing.

Agreed Cops. She's not a cut and dry character and I wonder how much actual success she's had at getting women into tech. Vice publishing her stuff when she asked them not to was a dick move - but her doxxing the CEO or whatever in kind was not pro.

Do we have any reliable numbers on what this does to children? Generally a disease's mortality among the very old and the very young are pretty tightly coupled. So all the lusting for boomer death is doubly-disgusting when it's likely also wishing a lot of babies will die.

SARS and MERS (which were also coronaviruses) were noticeably less severe in children, and COVID-19 is looking like it has that same characteristic
