7. In a weird way, I could see chickenpox-like parties for kids. People are going to go crazy over the next year as this plays out. People may just try to get it because they're so sick of being stuck inside.

8. No one wants to see people die, so if you're government and I'm right that the virus at this point can't be contained, it's all about delaying it until a vaccine can be developed and then reach big production.

9. Coronavirus will massively shift people towards working at home. All but essential services and package delivery will switch to work at home. This may create resentment amongst those who are forced to take risks for those get to stay at home. It aligns with class-conflict.

10. Okay I'm spent. My main takeaway is, notwithstanding the specter of death of ourselves and relatives, we are going to get sooooo sick of hearing about this soon. It's a unique time in history. We have a pandemic, but we can slow it down because of communications technology.

Let's look at how I could be wrong: A. Fast vaccine creation (doubt it) B. A cocktail of current drugs work C. Asian people are materially more susceptible (the bioweapon to make China's population younger thesis)

D. I'm extrapolating from super spreaders. The British guy open-mouth coughed everywhere and hugged everyone. Seems unlikely based on Singapore tracing E. China has no idea how to treat people. Well, if that's true, how are Indonesia and India going to handle this?

Another prediction: Every country in this world has an unspoken disdain for China. It’s often not fair and the United States has a history of big fuckups (assuming not deliberate), but China’s conduct in many areas is obnoxious. Look at WANG Yi’s comments for example.https://twitter.com/jenniferatntd/status/1228435515776667649 …

If it turns out they covered this up and fucked the world in the process we are going to see really big anti-China sentiment. It’s the straw that breaks the camels back. Could also see a reaction to Chinese people not dissimilar to Arab Muslims post 9/11. Hopefully not.
