    There’s also this (non-scientific) report. Yuck.

    This is not a reason to stock-up on ammo, short stocks, or put all of your assets in gold. If you were praying for a calamity to thin the urban heard ahead of the 2020 election, you’ll need to keep praying for the meteor.


    However, rest assured that it will cost us hundreds of billions in terms of lost productivity, misallocated resources, and a general media-perpetuated hysteria.

    At least it's more real than anthropomorphic global warming.

    The chinese are trying to isolate 40 million people, and are rushing to build a dedicated hospital with 1,000 beds in 10 days.

    There must be fear of something behind all this expense.

    So that means they'll have to exterminate how many of their citizens who don't fit into the hospital...?
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    I bet we'll see a spike in coronavirus-themed R01 applications going to the NIAID

    From what little I know of speaking to expats and foreign exchange teachers, the hospital may as well be the extermination site.

    I said the same thing in passing to one of our grants officers. They responded with, "We have two labs here prepping R01s with a coronavirus slant."

    This isn't much different than a politician saying, "Never let a good crisis go to waste."
