This virus is quite a lot worse, I think? But also the incapability of the state everywhere except its police apparatus.

From what I've seen in terms of excess death rates and when adjusted for population its comparable to 1968 although please challenge me on this if you see something different.

There's widely varying belief in lethality at the moment, and it depends on whether the hospital system will be overrun. I am so afraid that we are going to get all kind of superspreading now.
