Can be resolved @jskf

@Domer Resolved. In the future, if Metaculus has already resolved you can ask the bot to resolve by sending it a managram with text "resolve <market_url>". I'll probably put link for that in the descriptions at some point.

Define “novel”? If it’s just another variant of SARS CoV 2 I wouldn’t call that particularly novel

predicted NO

@Micrified

This is how it's defined in the Metaculus market, which this market mirrors.

Well, a bunch of my brother's classmates got pneumonia recently. But I haven't heard that it's because of a new virus.

predicted YES

@bohaska seems like people in China think it's not new
