Harvard Scientist Predicts Coronavirus May Infect 70% of Humanity
Harvard University epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch is predicting the coronavirus "will ultimately not be containable,” and - within a year, could infect up to 70 percent of humanity.
Well, that sounds rather comforting - to almost no one! Anyway, I suppose I’d better get busy and stock up on some strong meds. My guess is, about a case of Jack Daniels ought to do the trick.
Now, on a positive note for Republicans, those figures only reflect the virus infecting humans, so that pretty much excludes anyone who’s ever served in the Trump Administration.
And as for Trump himself, I think he’s pretty safe from ever coming in contact with the virus. I mean, even Trump supporters know viruses don’t play golf.

We are panicking, people.
Even the common cold is a type of Coronavirus.
What are coronaviruses?
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can infect humans or animals. Sometimes an animal coronavirus can change so that it can infect people and become a human coronavirus.
There are seven known types of human coronaviruses.
Four types (229E, NL63, OC43, and KHU1) are common and cause mild to moderate respiratory infections, like the common cold.
Two types, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), can cause severe respiratory infections. The seventh type (2019-nCoV) is a new coronavirus recently discovered in China. Public health officials are trying to learn more about this new virus and the infection it causes.
Be preventative.
Lighten up.
