Let's play a thought game.
If you wanted to bring the United States to its knees, what might you do?
You might build a hazardous lab near a wet market to study Corona viruses.
You might know where a cave is in which a particularly virulent Corona virus is carried by bats and keep its location a closely guarded secret.
In 2004, deep in the wilderness of China’s Yunnan province, a group of scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology discovered a cave full of wild bats carrying hundreds of SARS-related viruses. Their work, published in a draft paper in 2005, unearthed the link between SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) and bats for the first time. Now the virologist who led that study, Shi Zhengli, has revealed one of the strains found in that cave — the exact location of which is a closely guarded secret — is almost identical to the 2019-nCoV coronavirus which has so far killed at least 1,115 people and infected more than 45,000 worldwide.Then, somehow, the virus is leaked and there is an outbreak in your own country.
Before that outbreak explodes, you hoard masks.
The World Needs Masks. China Makes Them, but Has Been Hoarding Them.
SHANGHAI — As hospitals and governments hunt desperately for respirators and surgical masks to protect doctors and nurses from the coronavirus pandemic, they face a difficult reality: The world depends on China to make them, and the country is only beginning to share. China made half the world’s masks before the coronavirus emerged there, and it has expanded production nearly 12-fold since then. But it has claimed mask factory output for itself. Purchases and donations also brought China a big chunk of the world’s supply from elsewhere. Now, worries about mask supplies are rising. As the virus’s global spread escalates, governments around the world are restricting exports of protective gear, which experts say could worsen the pandemic.You also might hoard all kinds of medical supplies.China did not just stop selling masks — it also bought up much of the rest of the world’s supply. According to official data, China imported 56 million respirators and masks in the first week after the January lockdown of the city of Wuhan, where the coronavirus emerged. On Jan. 30, the last day for which data is available, China managed to import 20 million respirators and surgical masks in just 24 hours. Through February, civic-minded entrepreneurs and aid groups visited pharmacies in affluent countries and emerging markets alike, buying masks in bulk to send to China.
Beijing authorities mobilized the Chinese diaspora to help buy up goods. “Keep on buying while sending back to China [medical supplies], and try your best to buy as much as possible,” read one article posted on the official website of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s United Front Work Department, an agency dedicated to spreading the regime’s agenda inside and outside China. In the West, United Front organizations are usually Chinese student unions at colleges and universities, Chinese chambers of commerce, and Chinese associations. The United Front encouraged all overseas Chinese to follow in the association’s footstep.More on hoarding
As the coronavirus took hold in Wuhan in February, staff of a Chinese government-backed global property giant were ordered to buy up vast quantities of western medicines and medical equipment to send to China. Sources within the company told the Sydney Morning Herald that it was an international endeavour by the Greenland Group to scour the world for bulk supplies of surgical masks, thermometers, antibacterial wipes, hand sanitisers, gloves and paracetamol for China’s health system.Then you get your stooge at the World Health Organization to lie for you. You have him tell the world the virus is not contagious:
Your stooge might just happen to be a Communist with a history of covering up outbreaks
As The New York Times reported in 2017, a full two years before the current coronavirus pandemic even began, Tedros was accused of covering up three separate outbreaks in Ethiopia when he was the country’s health minister. The deadly cholera outbreaks were brushed off as “acute watery diarrhea” by the doctor.Then you might continue to lie about the conditions in your country

You might fail to mention that you had a peculiar method of controlling the outbreak:
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — As the World Health Organization (WHO) praises China for its "tailored approach" to handling the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, a video has surfaced of a Chinese woman vividly describing patients being bound in body bags and cremated while still alive.You might shut the affected province off from the rest of your country, but not from the rest of the world to make sure everyone is infected:

Well, except for those in the demoncrat party.
You’re kidding right? It’s just not the Democrats, the Republican party is in bed with the ChiComs, literally. McConnell is marred to a China Inc. lobbyist.
Then why release it to the rest of the world? Was there really a need to kill so many Spaniards and Italians just to get at Trump? If China really did make CV as a bioweapon why not just infect Trump directly rather than take the chance the American people will re-elect him in November?
My thoughts exactly. Making CV as a bioweapon against the US doesn’t make logical sense. China may be hurting from our tariffs but they’ll be hurting even more as more Americans die and are no longer able to import Chinese goods. You don’t get rich by killing off your best customers.
On the other hand, I think it’s very interesting that the bat that CV originated in is NOT native to Wuhan.
Put these 2 together and it’s pretty clear CV escaped from a Chinese lab and the whole bat soup thing was just a coverup by Beijing to hide the incompetence of their scientists at following basic safety procedures.
I look at what happened. It sure seems planned! How about finding about what role soros and bammy had in this?
At least it was not more deadly than the current worldwide rate of just under 6%.
What scares me is a virus a few years down the road say something like Covid-25 or Covid-30 that could infect all animals and human beings and possibly even plants with a 50% mortality rate instead of just under 6%. By the time they get something like that under control it could be a real game changer for life on earth. A real doomsday virus or possibly a bacteria.

BTTT.
Wasting your time. Sometimes people just don’t have the neurons to understand the new Silk Road.
Yes, I suspect there this was an attack and there was a plot to disguise it, to make it look like it was not direct but was an unfortunate but natural ‘outbreak’, ‘spread’.
The initial reports from Wuhan were there were dead bodies piled high on each other.
Now the reports are everything is back to open, wet markets are open, and bats are for sale.
Can’t believe a single word coming out of China, not a single word.
But the way I see it playing out, is this is a repeat of waking the sleeping giant.
The question, when we survive this, and we hone in on China AND DEEP STATE ACTORS, will we go nuclear?
I foresee China being isolated, their supply chains collapse and they will go to war with some country in the region. Maybe North Korea, maybe SE Asia somewhere, Nepal, Burma, etc.
I see them waging war to save face and recover control of supply routes.
They might try to project power like in the Panama Canal Zone but I don’t think they are capable to sustain it yet.
I would bet this is being war gamed in the Pentagon right now.
No plan. They didn’t know how we would react. Also, given all the skepticism about news coming out of China, how do we really know that they were that prepared or that successful in containing the virus? And as was noted, we are now more of a customer of China’s than a competitor. No, it’s more likely that the virus escaped from the lab accidentally.
YOU need to read this sonofagun...
Whoa - is that lower class tacky or what?
Maybe the Chinese want the American people dead but they want our ‘stuff’.
This means they’re so stupid they think the United States would still be wonderful if their two bit thugs were in charge.. What a joke. They would bring their hellhole creepy culture with them and turn our beautiful cities into polluted wastelands.
Don’t they get it?
It’s NOT the land, it’s not the stuff, it’s THEM - where ever they go they bring the totalitarian hellhole with them. Anyplace they go would turn into a hellhole within a few years. Hey Chinese - do YOU think YOU’RE country would ‘bloom’ if taken over by the nut running North Korea?
Welcome to Chicom Health car
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — As the World Health Organization (WHO) praises China for its "tailored approach" to handling the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, a video has surfaced of a Chinese woman vividly describing patients being bound in body bags and cremated while still alive.
On Feb. 24, a group of overseas Chinese students which calls itself Youth Production (少年譯製) uploaded a video of a Chinese woman approximately in her 60s sharing her traumatic experience surviving a stay in a Wuhan hospital while infected with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). In the video, titled "Burned Alive," a woman wearing a surgical face mask and speaking with a heavy Wuhan accent tells her harrowing tale to a taxi driver who is covered from head to toe in protective gear.
She starts by saying that she was in bed number 18, when another patient, a male in his 70s, was admitted on the morning Jan. 28 and stayed in bed 17. She said that by that afternoon, a team from Tianjin had arrived and found that the patient was having difficulty inhaling.
The woman said that she was experiencing the same symptoms, but not as severely as she was younger. She said that the man was weak but was still breathing when medical workers "bound his head" and then his hands and feet, which were "still moving."
The traumatized survivor then said that medical personnel placed the man in a black plastic bag and pulled up the zipper, before placing him in yet another plastic bag. She said they then wrapped the man in two more layers with an unidentified material.
When the driver asked what kind of medical treatment was offered to the man, she said that the hospital only had oxygen. She said that the lack of medical supplies made the facility feel more like a "nursing home" than the infectious disease hospital it claimed to be.
The driver then asked if the man was burned alive. She confirmed that the man was still alive when he was sent for cremation, and she said there were fears that the toxic gas from the crematorium would spread.
She claimed that she actually saw several cases of living patients stuffed in body bags and taken for cremation. She said that another elderly man in her isolation ward was still breathing but was also sent for cremation.
The woman said that she saw this on several occasions and began to burst into tears as she thought of the "miserable" fate of her fellow patients. When the driver asked why doctors did not try to save the first patient, she said that there was very little in the way of medical supplies available other than oxygen.
The horrified woman said she had never seen anything like it and said the patients were treated "just like dead dogs." The video closed with the woman saying that those who were dead "were stacked one after another in yellow body bags."
A staffer from a funeral home in Wuhan, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak, claimed the number of bodies she and her co-workers have had to transport and cremate each day is four to five times higher than the usual amount. Based on the account, the daily average number of bodies suspected of being coronavirus victims is estimated at 225 at a single Wuhan funeral home or 4,725 in total between Jan. 22 and Feb. 12.
There are eight registered funeral homes in Wuhan. If the funeral home staffer's account is true, it would mean there were 1,628 deaths per day in the city and a total of 34,200 in the 21 days leading up to the report.
World Health Organization (WHO) Assistant Director-General Dr. Bruce Aylward this week lavished praise on Communist China for its handling of the outbreak and revealed his doubts that many other countries in the world will be able to contain it. After having safely returned to WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, Aylward expressed confidence in the communist regime's health care system, proclaiming: "You know, if I had COVID-19, I'd want to be treated in China."
Nearly a third of the world’s cases are in the US.
I’ve posted on FaceBook that if I were writing a novel this would be a terror attack on the US and the rest of the world is collateral damage.
My novel would have the US government aware of the attack but would not publicize for fear that the public would demand retaliation.
But then, my imagination runs sometimes.
You’d hold an event for death panel libs and invite a couple key health figures who could use connections to get POTUS’ ear.
The US national stockpile of PPEs is down to 10%. Not good to advertise this to our enemies.
On 9/11 OBL was the most hated man in the world and look who we immediately elected.
One thing is clear: The Chinese and our resident “experts” understand and use the American psyche to their personal advantage and to achieve their goals ... and it is breathtakingly successful (that is unless and until Americans wake up from their panic porn-induced paralysis and put an end to this bullfauci).
