Yes. I have mixed feelings about this: on the one hand, new coronaviruses are discovered all the time, and this one is apparently exclusively found in bats. Right now, I doubt that there is any evidence for this actually being all the dangerous.

On the other hand, given just how many people I know are sick right now, and just how close the medical system here seems to a complete collapse, I am starting to wonder if we might have been in an extended phase 10 of JMG's orginal hypothesis (where everyone hoped for a miracle and did our best to ignore what is happening), and we could enter phase 11 (where there is mass panic as it becomes clear a ton of people are dying) at any time. In fact, a lot of oddities here in Ottawa make perfect sense if a lot of people are already subconsciously aware of the fact that far too many people are dying for it to be normal.

What worries me is that if this is the case, a new coronavirus at Wuhan is about as perfect a symbol for this mass panic to latch onto as any could be, especially for those who are determined to avoid dealing with the possibility that it might be the experimental vaccines....
