Coronavirus spreads. But don't panic! (topical thread)

[mordant]

China has serious demographic problems coming in the next few decades.  If they didn't care, they should have.  They have a rapidly aging population and lots of people bailing out on them.
Plus it is even more expensive to raise kids there than it is here.

My heart bleeds for them.

And fuck the russkis.

What I think you're failing to take into account is that we are interdependent on the Chinese for many things and their suffering will in some ways become ours.
