Guo speculated that coronavirus had infected as many as 5 million people in China, with the death toll crossing 200,000.

I'm not buying it. I think the MSM is weaponizing this illness to negatively affect the stock market in the hopes it will hurt Trump's chances for re-election. A crashing market is the only chance the Democrats have to win.

Crisis sell papers............

That is possible, but Steven Baird has a more sinister viewpoint in his article in American Thinker today: 2020: The Witching Hour on Steroids, February 24, 2020:

Mixed into this soup is a weaponized coronavirus that is now starting to make its way across the globe (see Tom Clancy's book "Executive Orders"). If you believe that a closed society is willing to disclose the actual number of infections and death statistics, you really have not been paying attention for the last 70 years. Since China believes that it is already overpopulated, as demonstrated by its one child policy, it can more than rationalize wiping out a quarter of its population in order to wreak havoc across the globe. Since no other president has ever exhibited a "clear and present danger," and Trump has, China is looking for a twofer by reducing the number of mouths it has to feed and clearing the road for a more malleable resident of the Oval Office.
It's a fascinating article worth reading.

Yes - this is warming up for the announcement that it is just the seasonal Chinese flu - expect the announcement 4/1/20

or you can go back to sleep and wait and see what happens when the COVID19 has been in the West for 60-90 days as that’s the stage China is in now.
