  1. Coronavirus marks the beginning of the biblical apocalypse
    The Bible prophesies an outbreak of infectious disease will sweep across the world before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
  2. Coronavirus will end office culture
    Fear of infection is compelling organizations to close offices and operate virtually. We will discover productivity gains in virtual working, and workers will migrate away from cities.
  3. Coronavirus will reduce smoking
    Coronavirus is a respiratory disease, and has been seen to affect those with weakened lungs with much more ferocity. The pandemic will shock millions of smokers into giving up.
  4. Coronavirus will never leave us
    The virus is likely to become endemic, infecting, and killing more people year after year. It is almost impossible to stop its transmission.
