So what is the impact compared to other historical events? I don't think anyone thinks the numbers will not be on the scale of dead in Vietnam. with exceptional luck a year from now, the same number of deaths. Maybe 2X the death in Vietnam. So the Vietnam magnitude loss in a number of months, instead of years is pretty big historically. To dismiss an event like 50-100K dead is unreasonable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War_casualties Gettysburg was 50,000 dead, wounded, or MIA. Wuhan virus kills some, and maims 2X as many. So we are beyond Gettysburg loss number, as if anyone never heard of Gettysburg. Today 14,600 US dead of covid, Gettysburg had a combined N+S of 7000 dead. https://www.britannica.com/event/Battle-of-Gettysburg.
These are numbers, whether Wuhan virus is big time is a matter of opinion. Whether Vietnam of Gettysburg is big time is a matter of opinion.
Conclusion:
War is contagious and kills people. Pphhhuuucckk a Co virus. Ain’t scchitt.
The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.
What we've learned from history is that we haven't learned from it.
