My 2 cents-
The more over-blown and over-the-top the response to this virus gets, the more I'm inclined to think this virus was intentionally released by anti-Trump forces- not the Chinese, unintentionally or otherwise, nor "organically" originating there- as a last-ditch effort to cause maximum chaos now they know Trump is going to win a second term, despite their best efforts already.
It has predictably morphed into an anti-Trump "event", or rallying cause for left/"progressives", and the panic and uncertainty has been fanned and fomented by the usual media suspects giving mass-coverage to any initial instances of panic-buying, aggravating it and ensuring it becomes self-fulfilling.
The media and standard anti-Trump forces responding have not been specifically enlisted, their response was calculated.
The use by the state of police powers to exert control over citizens is a massive leap forward from each country's Patriot Act equivalent, and will prove more than handy even if Trump completes his second term, specifically to target conservatives and anyone else who doesn't tow the (fascist left) line. The swiftness and eagerness, for eg, of the French government to ready 100k police to enforce curfews has been chiiling (and will dove-tail nicely to curtail further Yellow Jacket efforts), and the intention of Shin Bet to monitor the phones of Corona Virus victims, has been chilling.
Not liking where all this is headed, for sure.
There was definitely a control team going around nipping Wuflu panic in the bud before they were ready to swing it around to attack Trump. It all boils down to this extremely simple tactic. Criticism of China? Bad. Criticism of orange man? Good. The NPCs needed to stay in sleep mode before their activation by the misledia.
See, if the containment effort had been successful, they couldn't use Wuflu as a weapon. That is why we have to follow Trump's lead and short circuit the propaganda. It's a complicated thing but our agility is the best asset we have.
It's horrifying to think that Martial Law is the least of our worries now, but we need to be proactive. In a way, we already are. This site is a literal godsend, we've already ruined their plans in part by still existing, and CLIMBING in the rankings. You can bet they're scrambling to find ways to shut us down.
