    It's as good a guess as any, I suppose.

    If everyone on the planet guessed a different year the world would end, we would have the next 7 billion years or so covered.

    ^2030 is that when AI wipes out the human race?


    My wife had no fear of Covid-19 until I told her dogs can catch it.

    Coronavirus might be a huge deal since it seems to be as contagious a H1N1 and 4 times more lethal.
    (Basically, 2 billion people caught H1N1 an 0.5% died, for coronavirus the death rate 2-3%).

    Only time will tell, but the situation seems to be getting out of hand right now in South Korea and Italy
    while China is in lockdown mode which is probably for a good reason.

    Your statistic on corona lacks the data required to estimate a fatality rate.

    I question the valididy of the corona beer statistic.

    The reaction to this Virus will have a bigger impact, and it will be longer lasting than the Virus.

    Prepping now is more about being ready for the Human reaction, i.e. : Panic buying, Factory shutdowns, etc, than fear of catching the Virus.

    That said, I'd rather not catch it.
