I read an article in state of the nation and the virus had a UNC connection with another Chinese scientist. Who knows. What we do know is that a lot of these viruses come out of China. The real virus that is paralyzing this country is the hype and hysteria. This reaction with the economy and suspension of liberties was the real goal.

UNC? University of North Carolina?

From the article:

James Giordano, a neurology professor at Georgetown University and senior fellow in Biowarfare at the U.S. Special Operations Command, said China’s growing investment in bio-science, looser ethics around gene-editing and other cutting-edge technology and integration between government and academia raise the spectre of such pathogens being weaponized.

That could mean an offensive agent, or a modified germ let loose by proxies, for which only China has the treatment or vaccine. “This is not warfare, per se,” he said. “But what it’s doing is leveraging the capability to act as global saviour, which then creates various levels of macro and micro economic and bio-power dependencies.”

That last agrees with your point.

I’d like to blame all of it on China and our MSM, but to
be honest, a lot of well meaning people contributed to this
hysteria, right here.

I don’t know what it is, but each times it looks like there
is going to be a big case like this, people start repeating
rumors, gossip, short video clips, and anything else they
can grasp onto, to make things sound as bad as they could
possibly be.

Yes, a lot of these things do come out of China. And you
know, it’s time for that to stop.

They need to clean up their act.

I don’t think it’s necessary for us to have a flu season
every single year, from infections always starting in
Communist China.

Enough already.

I am beginning to think that the heavy handed, economy wrecking response we’ve seen was due to early intelligence assessments that this was indeed a bioweapon. Think back to how badly the spooks overestimated Iraq’s WMD capabilities after Sept. 11. Even if the intelligence agencies were only telling Trump that they could not rule out the possibility, he’d be forced to accept worst case thinking and act accordingly.
