    I would say that it is almost the perfect bio-wep; too many get it with no/mild symptoms, so it's not quite as severe as a good bio-wep could be. Make more sense to have a bug that would knock 20-60 year-olds down for 30+ days; now that would eff up the economy.

    I think as a purposeful effort to screw Trump and the economy, it just doesn't make much sense. China is a lot of things, stupid is not one of them. They could much easier wreck our economy and probably do it in a way that really enforces plausible deniability. But do I think China is laughing at us over all of this? Without a doubt.
    The Chinese have a huge surplus of people. They are not terribly concerned with losing a few million here or there......especially if it furthers the, "We didn't mean to, Look, it killed a bunch of us too"......

    My personal feeling is that they were futzing with the virus for military use. The release was an accident- I have this picture in my mind that some poorly paid janitor simply took a bunch of dead, infected, bats out of the trash and down to the local wet market to make a few bucks on the side, lol....BUT, once it was out, they immediately decided that it could serve their purpose and intentionally from that point forward did as much as they could to use it against us to their advantage. I mean, they KNEW that we would find out where it originated, this isn't 1920 and things like this can be computer modeled etc....they KNOW that....
    The truth can only offend those who live a lie.

    Here again, it's as much psychological effect as physical--the ChiComs know we've become a nation of bedwetters who run home sobbing like a little bitch if somebody just arches an eyebrow in a way they don't like.

    China could not care less about its' people. I read that almost all of the junior NCOs and below are simply cannon fodder. I also think your hypothesis on the origin is likely.

    Yes, WMDs (and bio counts) pull doubly duty as psychological incapaitants. Spot on. But this one has had a weird response: half the country is locked-in with gas masks, the other half are mask are at the beach trying to lead normal lives.

    I reached the same conclusion. Accidental release, intentional spread once it was in the wild.

    Once you KNOW you are going to take a hit....Why not spread the wealth? It only makes sense.

    A recent poll of Americans asking how many people they think were killed by COVID came back with an average answer of 9%.

    That’s right folks. The average American thinks that 30MM people have died from COVID. If the ChiComs released this on purpose or used it for their advantage it’s an excellent psychological tool as well.

    It also seems to show that the average American is a total moron.

    You truly can't fix stupid, but most of them are just ignorant of the facts. They're ignorant because the media keeps them in the dark and feeds them BS.
    What if this whole crusade's a charade?
    And behind it all there's a price to be paid
    For the blood which we dine
    Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…

    Also ignorant because they like confirmation bias, and they dislike anything that will not fit their agenda.
