RE: Could 2019-nCov be a Race or a Gender-Specific Bioweapon?

Thanks for your feedback, @valued-customer! It seems like the timing and location where the study came from—and the odd choice in subjects along with the conclusions they suggest looks like an attempt to misuse science for perception management. Combine that with the comments, and that they link to the same page, it gets even stranger. The only reason I can figure they’d want to seed the idea that this will only affect Asian males is that the opposite is true. Or perhaps, it’s preventing a panic for just long enough to gain some kind of immediate economic advantage. E.g., so they can order enough supplies before everyone else realizes that they should’ve been doing the same. I don’t know what to make of it all, with any certainty, but I’m without a doubt losing sleep because of it.

Sort:  

You know what's weird? I sleep like a baby since I had a heart attack less than a month ago. You'd think I'd be up and worried about my health, but I'm not. It's like I was set free of worry entirely. Even about this epidemic. I am concerned for humanity, grieve at the suffering, rage at the injustice, but I'm not worried at all.

I am fully accepting of my mortality, and absolutely at peace. Wish I could share that peace with you, but if you'd have to pay the price I did for it, I wouldn't wish it on you.

Thanks!

I appreciate that, @valued-customer, and think it’s great news you’ve been able to divine a sense of serenity after your recent health event. I’m unsure if I worry so much about my mortality either or if I’m just shirking away from the idea of having to witness a level of pain and destruction on par with what is happening in China right now. I wonder who will be better off, the people the virus kills, or those forced to endure the event and witness the untold suffering. Unfortunately, this is like watching a train wreck in slow motion. There’s not much one can do about it, save for physically and psychically bracing for impact.

Maybe I have just abandoned the pretense that there's anything I can do to affect my mortality. Dunno. I wasn't particularly concerned with it previously.
