I’m not one for conspiracy theory but common sense is pushing me toward some troubling suspicions.
The Dems lost in 2016, running the world’s most qualified superhuman evah, against a complete noob. Then Russia collusion failed. Mueller failed. Ukraine failed. Impeachment shooting blanks, failed.
So a new flu comes along and they see an opportunity in a crisis. Behold, media-ginned hysteria seems to be working and the Bad Orange Man is in the driver’s seat as the economy heads into a ditch.
This just might be the Dem’s best chance to discredit, disable and remove Trump from office.
Which is all that matters to them.
Media amps up the hysteria. Dem governors go to extremes to torpedo the Trump economy. Unemployment is rampant and businesses are facing extinction. Comparisons to the Great Depression are not irrational.
Nor is it irrational to suspect that while this may have begun with incompetence in China, it has become deliberate all-out ruination in America, in order to remove Trump from office and permanently blacken his name in history.
The “best” opponent didn’t work in 2016, so they’re not concerned about running the worst, Joe Biden. All that matters is taking down Trump and the traditional method of a presidential campaign won’t yield that result. Irregular warfare is in progress.

Your ‘conspiracy theory’ basically lines up with my own thoughts on the situation. We have to remember that President Trump won the 2016 election on the basis of extremely narrow victories in four battleground states. Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Florida were all won by the thinnest of margins. Just a few thousand votes the other way in each state and we would have had Hellary. That being said, I think his support is stronger this year and he has a good chance of picking up some additional states that normally go to the Democrat.
