I’m only 22 so I don’t remember SARS, but I’ve felt there’s a hunger for “happeningness” that wasn’t there before social media and 24-hour news

THe official count (which certainly downplays real numbers) doubles every two days. It is a true exponential. Even with a a low morbidity of 2% it is quite concerning for many reasons. The top one IMO being the clot of the medical system such an explosive dynamic generates.

Your immune system rarely responds in a pleasant way to viruses. Much of the “illness” you experience from a virus is the result of your own body’s processes in eliminating that virus (not any action of the virus itself).
