Possible Coronavirus misinformation?

The Trump Whitehouse has put out reports about the fear that Trump has mishandled the response. Shocking and suspicious that the WH would issue anything in negative light towards the president. Plus wouldn’t warnings come from the CDC?
I am beginning to think that the disease is a tool to raise fear and reduce voter turnout.

cause of this epidemic is unregulated live animal markets. Good government could have stopped it. Indeed banning live animal markets are one of the long term solutions people are talking about right now. SARS came out of those markets too.

Asian Bird Flu, SARS in 2008 and it all seems to go away after the election in November.
Maybe it is just me that is infected with Trump deranged syndrome

on top of each other and deficate on each other. Then they are killed on site and the mess on the outside gets on the meat as they are chopped up. Or bushmeat. I don't know the origin of ebola.

the very real corona virus is simply intended to raise fear and reduce voter turnout.

As others have said, it's the unregulated and thoroughly unsanitary live animal markets in China that give us a never-ending stream of new diseases.
