There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.

China is now at war with the #coronavirus. These are wartime headlines. And the short term losses are already too great. But in the end I think they triumph by willing the future into the present.
Even after the virus crisis passes, Chinese society will be transformed and they will have accelerated the pace of several dozen technologies.

Telemedicine, medical robots, diagnostics, antivirals, vaccines.

But also remote work, VR, supply chain auditing, and so much more.
It does feel like the coronavirus crisis is the starting gun for this decade, in the same way the 9/11 attacks were for the 2000s or the financial crisis was for the 2010s.

By the way, that original quote is from old VI Lenin himself.
