More types of virus are going to come out. As the increasing human population continue to stress the environment of all living organisms on this planet.
We basically got a "F" in this first crash course for pandemic survival. We need to learn and adapt, or we'll go away really quickly.

The human species won't be wiped out. I agree we have overpopulated, so if there had to be a silver lining... Maybe this coronavirus is a slight correction? It's a dark thought, but there are only a finite amount of resources to support us all.
I think if anything ends the human race, it will be the human race.
Back to politics. Went for a drive today with the wife looking for area of town for a potential investment property as we near finishing off our current debts. It's amazing how many political signs are up this year in upper middle class neighborhoods ($250-350k homes) here in San Antonio. Both Trump and Biden were heavily represented, as were all the down ballot candidates. But, the notable thing was once we went to areas of more affordable housing ($150-200k), there were virtually none. This was in neighborhoods literally across the street from each other in some cases. It was an observation that supports my theory that the "everyman/woman" citizen is too busy surviving to indulge the luxury of arguing politics with the neighbors. The majority citizens are shouldering the burden of the strife created in Washington no matter which party is in office. The system really and truly is broken. Was just interesting to see it illustrated like that.
