We're all going to die before easter

Do you live near Toronto?

I guess I'd be worried, especially for my children. From what I've read so far, this one is very bad. It appears to be a newly mutated coronavirus, most likely from a mammalian coronavirus (possibly Porcine Respiratory Coronavirus). So we humans have no immunity whatsoever to this new virus strain. It has all the characteristics neccesary to become a pandemic, its seems to be spread as easily as the common cold.

I think we will see it sweep through undeveloped countries throughout the summer, with occasional outbreaks within the developed world that will be contained with quarantine and hospitalization. But, Dani, you may be more prophet that you know. As for Allah, it would seem then so far that he has something against the Chinese, Koreans, and Canadians. Toronto is just a stones throw from New York, and from there is would go everywhere. Sounds like Vietnam, Singapore, and Thailand are next. But, I think within a few months we will see that it will be the poor that will be dying in huge numbers.

As an aside; during Gulf War I started work on a huge oil painting which includes the betrayal of the Kurds and Shiites, the oil well fires, and the chaotic swirl of the central theme is dominated by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I never finished it, but now I think I may.
