Welp, looks like the Coronavirus has completely killed my trip to Asia. All plans were canceled, flights going to be canceled, all I'll have left is 6 days in Amsterdam, and even that might get canceled. I'm fine with it but too many people involved are in panic mode.

Given that level of stupidity, I think any supposed "expert" tossing out estimates instead of reporting actual current numbers needs to be fucking fired. It doesn't help anyone and is only done to make that researcher some cash. I also think there's an age component:

I'm going to bet if you did a meta-analysis of the estimates researchers put out of world infection over 2 years you'll find a positive correlation between age and estimate. I'm going to bet you their estimate is 1/2 their age. Someone who's 80 thinks 40% of the world, etc.

So, because the entire world is freaking out I'm going to be canceling my trip rather than risk getting stuck in Asia. Thanks every asshole who searched for "corona beer virus".pic.twitter.com/1YUSMZw8nC
