I’d think if they wanted to do it, they’d make a virus that was actually a big deal. The corona virus isn’t the great killer you guys are making it out to be.
Looking at it from a Deep State perspective, it kills the old and weak and possibly the very young. The useless as far as advancing the interests of the Deep State. It doesn't kill the young and healthy that they need to work. Thus far, it has mainly killed a bunch of Chinese that even the Chinese themselves probably wanted to get rid of, truth-be-told. I didn't take it that Hawkeye was saying that is what happened, he was just presenting a possible scenario.
There is the possibility that it is exactly what has been reported, a virus being studied in a benign viral lab in Wuhan that jumped ship and is now spreading around. Whatever it is, personally I think we're doing pretty well here. The count is 15 and has been for a few days with the rest of the "possibles" quarantined. It will likely get worse, but I'd expect for methods of treatment here to account for a much higher survival rate than in China, unless as some have mentioned, it really strikes hard and overwhelms the healthcare system. Already there are reports of a fast-tracked vaccine, which is good news. Those of use who are suspicious types, including myself, smell a rat, but it doesn't really matter as there is little we can do about it.
