        Italy and China are disasters because of their hospitals, and we’re less than a week away from repeating that

        China actually did pretty fucking good considering they took awhile to get a handle on things. Have dropped transmission below 1 for now, extinguish for awhile.

        Anyways, I voted political instability because that is what could cause the worst effects of this pandemic. Would also be very interconnected with economic depression.

        MAGA death cults? No, definitely lack of preventative measures that could slow transmission not being put into place thus resulting in large amounts of excess mortality than if local governments errored on the side of caution, esp now with Italy.

        Overwhelmed hospitals mean lots of people dying from treatable non-coronavirusy problems. We could easily be looking at a 2-4 week period where if you have a heart attack you might be fucked. Look at Italy right now:https://twitter.com/jasonvanschoor/status/1237142891077697538?s=19 …
