For those of us in rich nations who aren't working, aren't in a hospital, and have some savings, it might seem like Douglas Adams, but that's because we are fortunate to be able to stay home and do nothing, or bake bread if you like.
I am kind of amazed at the claim I've seen occasionally, without evidence, that the United States will have the most cases. It might be starting later, but I don't see how India won't be worse. The news from Ecuador seems like a preview of what we're going to see in poorer nations. There won't be any government checks for them, and not much in the way of hospitals either.
Being in a poorer country, I can tell you that the numbers we have (close to 10.000 now) are NOWHERE near the actual count. There simply are not enough tests to run, so lots and lots of cases are...

Hopefully the measures in place in India help contain it. Because it would be an unprecedented tragedy if Covid hit them as hard as Italy or Spain.
Brazil and India may be the only countries with the count to beat us (and China if they've been hiding them as the CIA seems to think). I'm genuinely worried about developing nations, especially...
Brazil and India may be the only countries with the count to beat us (and China if they've been hiding them as the CIA seems to think). I'm genuinely worried about developing nations, especially dense ones like Brazil and India, and I'm also concerned this could basically flatten Africa, which has maybe two or three large economies.
That bit had me laughing. It seems like the kind of apocalypse he would have loved - not enough of a bump to derail the train, but enough of a bump to snap a shitload of the rusty bolts holding it...
This apocalypse is less Danny Boyle and more Douglas Adams.
