Re: <nettime> coronavirus questions


3-4% of each of these groups will die, so it will likely be a uniting experience, a dismal failure of the identity politics, and therefore a serious problem for powers that be.

Unrelated, it's funny how coronavirus has the same effect at biological and social levels: the damage to the body is mostly due to the overreaction of the immune system, and the damage to the economy is due to the overreaction of the society. Somehow the ruling class calculated that it is worthwhile to decimate the economy to delay deaths by few weeks or months (idiotic statements about the virus getting tired notwithstanding.)
