Ironically, for countries that can contain properly, maybe even net gain in life. HK doctors was talking about how flu season ended months early due to all the measures being taken. I'm guessing road fatalities, work place accidents and all sorts of other causes of death is way down.

Not to mention the massive spike in birth rates that I expect 9 months from now (sooner for China)

The prolonged stress is probably shortening some people's lives. Not sure this is a net positive even if we just count in life-years gained.

demand is up in my house, proximity to food storage seems to trump caloric needs

Same here. For God's sake. I am more worried about getting diabetes than coronavirus. :p

Agreed. And it's not even due to proximity to the fridge (I work from home, distance to fridge didn't change) - but all the stress from watching the entire human civilization being dismantled by the coronavirus is making me hungry more often.

Time to hide food around the house and make dinner a hunt.
