Are you AFRAID of the 🦠Coronavirus Outbreak?


Its all over the news everywhere everyday. Sometimes it even pays more to watch repetitive news than actually show something more interesting in the news, and these are those times.

Crazy right? But true. All the broadcasting organisms, if they are not talking about the outbreak, then probably they are loosing money.

The economy

These are the times for crypto to shine. Simply put, its a step closer to something that will not get hurt by a virus. There is no need for physical contact in crypto. Everything can happen remotely in a distributed secure way. All we need is more automation for the man-made "tasks" that can't yet be replaced... and, in situations like the one happening now, we would just isolate the entire world for 14 days (in terms of humans), validate during that time who is sick or not, quarantine who are and done! Virus killed.

No food or goods would need to stop being produced or markets collapse as it is already happening. Flights would probably still be affected, but slightly less compared to how they are currently as in the air there are also lots of cargo transport.

In fact, in a situation like this, I would say that if humans would stop traveling by air and only cargo would, the prices and speed of transportation in general would probably spike and then lower as planes would accelerate the economy and allow for extra and faster shipments to take place. This would be valid for some products, not all cargo of course. And yes, would have to be intentional.

But the real question is...

Are you afraid of getting infected? Or you are aware of the virus and you believe the probability of you getting infected is very low (because of the countermeasures you have in place).

I am not afraid. I would not be afraid, even in the case of a zombie apocalypse. :D
Maybe if the virus would knock on my door, asking "what about now, what about today?" :D

LOL... I fear the economic impact. Not the strain that can in some cases (lots to consider) kill...

BUT i do believe the potential for it to become a very serious problem definitely exists. Without proper precautions the death toll may quickly increase.

I don't think the deaths so far are an explanation of how much strong the virus is. In my interpretation so far, I think most is due the age of the person, the already in place conditions that person is, and the access to health care quick enough to avoid death.

Thanks for your view.
