So I skimmed this thread and I wanna ask:

Is the world really going to go into nuclear winter because some slapdick politician realized that he can get a bump in his approval ratings by ramping up a border fight with his neighbor, who also has nuclear bombs?

the idea that people would choose to destroy themselves if we let them have nukes is pretty common.

Just popping in to make my prediction that when this is all over, it will in fact be India that sees the most corona deaths:

1) Massive population, much of it in places that are more densely populated than China
2) Affordable but massively inadequate healthcare system
3) Dreadful sanitation as a general rule
4) Corrupt and incompetent political leadership at almost every level of government with the exception of a handful of states
5) Large sectors of the population that for various (sometimes extremely valid) reasons are accustomed to not loving doing what the govt tells them.
6) Likely compounding catastrophes of sectarian strife, climate disasters, etc

Counterpoints:

1) Strong mutual aid tradition in certain sectors
2) Large and generally competent army that actually has a fair amount of hands-on experience with emergency relief and such

This is like, the one time I want to set a reminder for 3 months from now and see what happens.
