I just heard an interview on the BBC World Service where the guy said
that he expects the "liberal democracies" to experience pandemics, and
then what they'll have to do is let the virus spread, and then treat
the severe cases in hospitals.
The last I heard, the death rate is 2.1%. So that would imply that
the world population will be 2.1% smaller a year from now.
That would be good news for climate change activists.
I see problems with our toll road sick care system.
1. Some won't call 911 'cause they have no health insurance and they know that call will bankrupt them.
2. Private prisons are run for profit maximization only. Nothing else matters
3. Food insecure Americans probably have run down immune systems
4. Homelessness, nothing else to add here.
5. Bad American diet. I wonder if the average Chinese have this problem...
I have other wonders as well. I wonder what the inability to pay mortgages and rents will do here. I also wonder about all of those other bills folks can't pay. Will they get booted out and hounded by debt collectors. I wonder what the Chinese do as well. I guess all of those unpaid bills mess up Social Credit Score.
