Why don’t you address the question you raise. Instead you simply say the same thing over. You throw assumptions that have no basis in any report, other than your last posts.
Killing people is a commie thing to do. I get that. Shutting down a large swath of the country to pretend there is more going on sounds like a fu man chu plot. Or a James Bond movie.
Your economic conspiracy theory is more bizarre than just about every other hypothesis posted yesterday or today.
Do you remember the last time there was this kind of reaction by various Asian cities and countries? For example, with SARS did they go this extreme?
I am not saying that there IS a conspiracy. I am not saying that there IS NOT a pandemic over there. What I AM asking is: why would a dictatorial, non-transparent communist regime with proven disregard for her citizens and a pro-population control, forced abortion/one-child policy, try to stop the spread of a "pandemic" with high-profile quarantines and press conferences?
I am also coupling that question with the human tendency to overshoot on hysteria during the early stages of a panic. Lots of people thought the recent Ebola scare was going to be The Big One. It wasn't. Same with SARS.
I see panic, fear, and TEOTWAWKI sentiments aplenty here. Every other time that's flared up, it was proven unjustified. Meanwhile, the govt of China - which is as trustworthy and honest as the Clintons - suddenly is speaking to the press. What gives?
Again, its early days and maybe something bad is brewing over there. We should all be vigilant and monitor the situation and wash our hands, especially since influenza is a big killer but nobody freaks over that. But the spectacle of normally rational people, who distrust China and aren't usually prone to being lemmings, buying into this mania hook line and sinker is a little much.
All I'm saying is, watch the main show but also watch what the magician is doing with his other hand.
