    Hell yes. It's about damn time this got appropriate political attention. Military kill-bots rank highly on the already impressive list of deeply stupid human ideas.

    Without placing any undue stigma on the people of China, who are unquestionably the biggest victims here, it should also be clear than this outbreak is a damning indictment of the CPP's autocratic censorship policies.

    I know I complain a lot about genetic disease, but really it's a miracle that anything works.

    Credit where it's due. Hopefully a vaccine will be on the way shortly.

    "[We] should spend more time communicating that the coronavirus may be just another virus, broadly comparable in risk to a bad seasonal influenza or, at worst the 1918 influenza pandemic, that will circulate in human populations for a number of years." These people are nuts.

    >200 dead despite intensive care; at least an order of magnitude more deadly than the flu, highly mobile w/ no vaccine, just declared a global health emergency by the WHO, and WIRED's contribution is ...*drumroll*... border health checks are authoritarian

    As we all know, risking millions of human lives is a small price to pay for political correctness. (The Coronavirus has spread to Italy, the UK and Botswana now.)

    The WHO have just declared a public health emergency of international concern. But you have to give Wuhan medical workers a lot of credit. These are brave people.

    I always have mixed feelings about chatbots. On the one hand, existential terror about human obsolescence, blah blah. On the other hand, having a frank and extended dialog with an entity of pure reason could be... rather stimulating. Maybe some day.

    I'd still hold out some hope that increasing employment in job sectors that require physical exercise would help with this and other social problems. But in any case I agree "it's possible to marry scientific rigor with compassion for the evils of the world."

    "I’m not saying that all problems are purely biological and none are social. But I do worry there’s a consensus that biological things are unfixable but social things are easy– or that social solutions are morally unambiguous but biological solutions necessarily monstrous."

    "Wouldn’t it be nice if increasing obesity was driven at least in part by changes in the intestinal microbiota that we could reverse through careful antibiotic use? ...Even the most politically radioactive biological explanation– genetics– doesn’t seem that scary to me."

    "...and let’s not forget a level of stigma against obese people so strong that I am constantly having to deal with their weight-related suicide attempts. As a result, everyone… keeps gaining weight at exactly the same rate they have been for the past couple decades."

    "We put a lot of social effort into fighting obesity: labeling foods, banning soda machines from school, banning large sodas from New York, programs in schools to promote healthy eating, doctors chewing people out when they gain weight..."
