You're the third person who's dug up that post.

It's just talk on a message board, it's not actually my job to predict pandemics.

Haha that’s funny. But who knew it would ever turn out like this so quick, almost like it was planned/modeled by someone...

That would be preparing and setting up a smart response to these things, not conspiracy crap.

There's reports of what terms were censored, like Wuhan Pneumonia or Wuhan seafood market. They tried to stop mention of it domestically first, then they lied to the WHO, then they started buying back critical medical supplies from every country (see the Sydney Morning Herald article if you are interested).

Do you really think they'd uphold any of what's in a treaty?
Who knows, the Chinese middle class is wielding more influence these days and ****ing them off doesn't reap great benefits for the Party. It is getting harder to control the population in the age of the internet and the Great Firewall can only do so much. The fact that their attempted censorship didn't work gives the people leverage. In any case it was more of a fun 'what if' thought but sure would be handy if the world worked a little better together.

While this is terrible, it is quite benign if we could just imagine some other pathogens having triple the fatality effect and being airborne vs “droplets”. You actually had to stay inside, it maintained the same if not worse shotgun spread pattern and all ages did not fare well. I shudder to think, but I’m sure there are folks out there watching and contemplating such evil. It doesn’t necessarily take 72 virgins to make this happen. A wake up call to being dependent upon other nations, our supply inventory, our reaction/response level to such an event both health and financial, let alone mental etc. Hope we learn something as we recover. Albeit, we tend to have short term memory in many cases. Be like a healed fracture and come out stronger and Drive On!

Too bad our representatives couldn’t find time to warn us after they called their brokers.
