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)

I haven’t heard C, but that’s some Alex Jones level conspiracy theory lol. I don’t think you have to worry about C being a legitimate challenge to your thesis.

Different races are sometimes more/less susceptible to certain diseases. It's just very taboo to talk about it.

I was more referring to the “bioweapon to reduce the old age population” part.

It might be taboo to discuss it, but it is totally true. AFAIK, you have to have sub-saharan genetics in order to get sick-cell anemia for example.pic.twitter.com/6XwCtwMwgb

Another is to look up HIV by race and country. Something like 10% of white people can't get HIV, which is big when thinking about herd immunity. I think it's a big variable, for some diseases. They actually use race for screening some.

Okay, now we're in taboo waters. I had heard the opposite? That there were people in Africa who were HIV positive but couldn't get AIDS. Largest sample size in Africa of course, so it could just be that.

I haven't heard that one, but it might also be true, and help explain why it spreads easier over there (hosts can pass it on for longer).
