Not been here for ages… but thought i’d jump back in given the world is nigh.
Guessing the number of US fatalities here! ■■■■ this is so terrible… this is worst worst thing that could happen. Even in war, at least that is left to the military… but a virus!! That’s indiscriminate man… jeez this is all depressing.
55 days until a Brave New World, right? I’m losing faith because it doesnt seem to be happening! (already sold my sedan, my calls and puts, my red sox memorabilia and my jackknife. Please advise!)
I would say your initial estimate was off by several orders of magnitude (we’re “all” going to die). But I approve of your second estimate.
People talk about a second wave, but I suspect that Wave 1 took out a lot of the forest underbrush in controlled burns. Strong trees still stand. Overall forest more resistant; giant wildfire risk attenuated.
