** 22-Feb-2020 World View: Wuhan coronavirus is here
Good luck to both of you.
Yes, I've been following the news of how Covid has spread from the
southern city of Daegu across the country. Apparently it spread
because of a large religious service of the Shincheonji religious
group.
Here in America, the mainstream news media are almost totally ignoring
Covid-19, in favor of really important issues, such as those related
to the phrase "horse-faced lesbian." CNN, for example, a network that
hates religion since they think that any mention of religion might
benefit the loathed Trump, is blaming the coronavirus spread in South
Korea on the Shincheonji religious group, which the BBC refers to as
"a fringe religious movement." They would like you to believe that
it's the "fringe religious movement," rather than the sainted CCP,
that's causing the spread.

As for me, I live in Cambridge-Boston, which is an international
travel hub, to China and everywhere else, and I live next door to MIT,
which has students from all countries, including China. There are
probably 20-30 people walking about Boston right now with undetected
coronavirus. My apartment building has hundreds of students from
Asia. I go to the Roche Brothers grocery store in Kendall Square
every day and mingle with the people there, and purchase food prepared
locally.
I've been reading and watching a lot of reports, and my personal
opinion is that a pandemic is coming. In the article that I posted
yesterday (Planning for Coronavirus), I didn't want to say so
explicitly, since doing so would be alarmist, but I tried to suggest
it by saying that the hoped-for "V-shaped recovery" wasn't going to
happen.
So it's quite possible that the world will look very different a
couple of months from now.
As for myself, I'm an "elderly" person, so if I get coronavirus, then
I'll probably die, hopefully quickly. That would actually be a
convenient way to die and, as the old saying goes, we all have to die
of something.
Good luck to everyone. Wash your hands frequently, sneeze into your
sleeve, and don't touch your face.
