One thing I fear is that China, or some other rogue nation, will see the effect this has had on our economy and try it again with some other virus. I say “again” because I’m not convinced that the corona virus was not deliberately released THIS time.
I see 2 possible scenarios.
Scenario A is that we continue to move down the curve and gradually open. By mid summer, except for mass gatherings at sporting events, etc. we should be getting back to normal.
Scenario B is what you describe.
Right. They see how we cower and how so many believe it is so virtuous to do so.
What a weakness it is that has been revealed to the world.
I do not think it would be logical for China to intentionally release a viral infection on its own people. But that it came our of biological research is logical, esp, in the light of the extreme defensiveness shown by China to even early allegations. Yet Communism is very egotistical and cannot stand criticism.
