Coronavirus, Mayan end of world predictions, totally the same thing.
As has been said, what’s going to happen is that we’re going to take increasingly drastic measures to slow the spread. Morons will continue to say we’re overreacting. Many people will die, but the measures we take will ensure we won’t be living in a Mad Max post-apocalyptic wasteland. And then when the worst of it passes, these morons are going to say “See? I told you it wasn’t a big deal.”
