You can believe whatever you want, but if you think that the situation with the novel coronavirus is just like a typical seasonal flu virus then you are unfortunately misinformed. Do you think that people in Wuhan don't also get the flu? And do you think that the local doctors, government officials, etc. are simply irrationally responding to a disease that from your point of view is no more dangerous than the typical seasonal flu?
So this coronavirus made the deep state, the media and the establishment suddenly give up on their previous lifelong pursuit, and take up the complete opposite? And now they want to look after our health?
