My thoughts:
I posted this in Something For All, but basically it won't be a global super-killer or anything nuts like that. It's another flu that's spreading rapidly basically, the danger here is it kills anyone that's immuno-compromised, got asthma, diabetes, heart conditions, smokers, etc... China has such a high death toll among the """healthy""" because their air quality is comparable to that of smoking a pack a day lol.
Vaccine for it I'd say is around 8-16 months probably. They're running the first trials now as far as I'm aware, and people are thinking HIV medication and stem cell research will help extensively in figuring out a vaccine or treatment for it. As well as transfusions from people who already recovered from it.
What annoys me the most are the panic buyers.. sure, if you could be undergoing a quarantine, you should be stocking up... for two weeks. Two weeks. Not several months. You do not need that much toilet paper wtf.
I'm personally going to get my mother to buy some hand sanitizer, wet wipes (we have some in the car but they're almost dry baby wipes lol) like lysol, and if we need cleaning equipment that too. I'm def gonna be washing my hands a lot more and will be self-punishing if I forget lmao. I tend to forget before meals.... oops
But yeah uhhh just be really really germophobic and shit and you should be fine.
Really sucks though because another issue is the economy, China's air quality IS getting better because of this coronavirus and it's a real good thing the air's clearing but damn I wish it had been from hard work and environmental care instead of "hehe me sick XDd"
Canada's dollar is at the worst its been in like... almost 20 years? It's at 1 USD = 1.40 CAD rn, which is REALLY awful if you're Canadian buying shit online but REALLY nice if you're American and stuck in Canada. Lol... but overall sucks for Canada's economy and all. Also bitcoin dropping is poop but like.. it's a good buy-in opportunity.
