Well, things are not going well. This applies to both the predictions made by this blog in January and the human population of this planet.
A few notes and predictions about the Coronavirus disaster:
-It is not a case of mass hysteria and it is not an existential threat. Mortality rates from diseases were much worse in the general population for most of human history. However, people who point to this as a reason for not taking drastic measures should be loaded onto a time machine and taken back to any period in history where things were much worse.
-This will decimate Nursing Home populations in the U.S. We use that term literally.
-The failures of the Trump administration may be offset by combined responses of states and communities. This is an optimistic posture for this blog to take.
