Or it’s just a virus. This isn’t something we haven’t seen before. And if it’s an attack, who starts an attack by bombing its own citizens?
They either bombed their own citizens by mistake, or they did on purpose to seed the rest of the world with it, which is what happened.
Actually there's a reason it's called a NOVEL coronavirus. Nothing else like it, ever before. No one on earth has antibodies for it until they live thru it.
"And if it’s an attack, who starts an attack by bombing its own citizens?"
That would be a society that just doesn't value the lives of individual humans the way most of us here in the civilized world do. This would be an example of that thing that some people refer to as "normalcy bias".
A society that has a rich, ancient tradition of fighting wars by attrition, accepting vastly lopsided casualty numbers to effect destruction of enemy armies in the field. If it has to include what, several thousand (no one really knows) of their own civilians this one time, so what? It's their strong hand.
A country that would actually benefit from the confusion and chaos of taking some casualties of their own, ("so what, it's only [fill in the numbers from China here, if you can get a straight answer] or so, we'll fine after the dust settles...")
Meanwhile was someone saying something about someone else interfering in other countries' elections?
To cause havoc & gain control of the whole world, China would kill over half of THEIR population....You can count on that.
