Whether it's real or not, hysteria absolutely is incoming.
Their M. O. (forgive the pun) is always to hype up fear, release talks of a vaccine, scare everybody into lining up for the vaccine.
If this is just more of their typical gamez, we'll see the worst panic we've ever seen over one of these pandemic situations, and we'll see talks of a vaccine and even the 'woke' fuckers out there won't be able to line up fast enough to get it.
Speaking of escalation, their gamez do tend to get more and more intense over time...
I'm not saying that's not what this is...
But if Aunt Mary's friend's sister's neighbor drops from it? Then I guess it doesn't really matter if "they" started it or not, it's real at that point and all the necessary measures will have to be put in place by individuals at that point regardless of how it all began.

If that's not the makings for total fucking hysteria on a global level, I dunno what is...
ALLEGEDLY.
FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.
Of course.
Before I did what I do now, I worked in water treatment.
Selling the substrate that is used for residential purification.
Even with all the Flint Michigan fiasco things....we are about a century ahead of provincial China in residential water treatment.
In lots of Asia, people wash their hands in filthy badly treated water...if they wash their hands at all.
My prediction is: all smoke no fire.
If it maintains that replication rate in first world conditions...yeah, scary.
It probably won’t though.

What I'm saying is...
Total hysteria and panic does not equate to a true threat.
Actual proof of mortality means a true threat.
It could go either way at this point, and I'm not currently convinced in either direction.

I'm with you on your assessment at this point.

But the potential for loss of life in those densely populated Asian countries is pretty dire.
