Another nowcast published on the 31st that lines up with the report in the Lancet. Both say it's likely much more widespread than the official number of confirmed cases. https://systems.jhu.edu/research/public-health/ncov-model-2/ …pic.twitter.com/wCSn1hyRjc

This means the actual mortality rate is likely much lower than the initial reports of 2% to 3%. This makes me less worried about the health impact than I initially was. That said, even something as mild as the flu is no picnic in the aggregate.

I've been trying to be less vague about my predictions, so I'll put a number on it. I think there's a 50% chance there will be 0.5m to 1m cases before 2021. And I give 25% to both tails.

Waxing philosophical a bit: I do worry about the possibility of a black swan virus that could take out a significant proportion of humanity. I don't think nCoV is it, but it would be swell if we could get vaccine development time down below a year.

This is a good discussion on nCoV, and forecasting in general. Their recommendation is to have 2 weeks of food and a kit with essentials like basic medicine and a radio. It's cheap and useful in many scenarios, whether or not nCoV spreads.https://twitter.com/80000Hours/status/1224401961904234496?s=20 …
