Well it’s already cut China’s CO2 emissions by 25% apparently. So that’s nice.

Anyway, as I’m bored of explaining to people, it isn’t going to cut the world’s population by 2%. At the moment, it’s showing a 2% death rate among recorded cases - which isn’t anywhere near the same as the actual number of cases. Also, far from everyone who might get it is actually getting it. And most of the deaths are - as usual - the old and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions.
