Amazing how this virus just happens to be the perfect diversion for

[malaise]

this travesty of justice in the Senate trial of the impeached president.

Just saying

1. What, you think Trump created it...

And released it in China two months ago in order to distract from an impeachment he wasn’t going to get convicted of anyhow?

5. And to help "his" economy?

Wilbur Ross: Coronavirus will "help" bring jobs back to the U.S. from China

7. naw but Trump is a lucky prick

2. Tinfoil hat a little tight? There have always been epidemics

and they happen regardless of whatever might be going on elsewhere. I hardly think the Chinese invented or spread it for the benefit of Trump. What's more likely to happen, considering that Trump cut funding for the CDC, is that if it spreads here the government will mishandle it badly and a lot of people will get sick.

3. As a consolation - the virus is hitting trump in the stock markets - and is likely to

do so for some time to come.

That could be big. The traitortrump artificially inflated, stock bubbles are vulnerable.

4. What? You think this a fake virus designed to distract

from the Senate trial?

[guillaumeb]

6. The perfect diversion for the US conservative, corporate, media?

Agreed. And it will frighten people, which makes people easier to control.

8. Just saying what? nt

9. Remember Ebola in October 2014 the day after the election you barely heard of Ebola?

This appearing now is highly suspicious and the way the media is hyping and scaring people reminds me of the Ebola thing.

That said I think this virus is dangerous and we should be taking precautions. And it is going to hurt our economy therefore hurting mf45. .
