Feels like covid in late 2019/early 2020. I’m half expecting to read some Reddit post from some guy in a major city saying that he has some weird cold and his doctor told him not to go outside but he’s unable to test so he’s unsure what it is. Of course I said the same thing about bird flu last year and that has yet to pop off. The difference of course being that hantavirus has confirmed human-to-human transmission, bird flu never did.
Thoughts? Are you preparing for covid 2? Think it’ll fizzle out?


These things usually fizzle out, and this was caught extremely early, with only one confirmed human to human transmission so far.
Even if it does become another pandemic, you have months before you need to care. Think about how long there was between December 2019 and covid first affecting you. If it’s on the way to being another pandemic, it will become very, very obvious during that time.
The cruise industry should be banned of course.
one month?
unless you mean how long until i personally got infected (over three years), but yeah, by late January everything was closing down, masking was mandatory and streets were empty
Dang, speedy! It was March for me.
Personally, COVID affected me very quickly because the majority of my family is in Wuhan and I was supposed to go in Jan for Spring Festival.
Yeah, I should’ve said to rearrange the world as appropriate for your personal proximity to the start of covid vs this outbreak.
