please tell me you don’t really believe that. What advantage would the powers at be gain by this? CEO’s shutting down and gutting their businesses, sports leagues cancelled. This is costing millions of dollars of lost revenues, and you think these leaders did this to scam us??!!

I would rather have them scam us than to have millions die from the virus honestly

I don’t believe none of this stuff but that doesn’t change the current situation of things. Trump and his crew look like dummies on TV and the USA is poorly prepared for a situation that they ran simulation models on months ago. So maybe I’m stupid but definitely not gullible

I would look at what legislations they will attach to the bailout packages. That will be the advantages gained by the corporations and government. A telling sign of corruption to me is the outing of those four politicians dumping stock before the event occurred. They knew what was coming before it happened so they know what direction it will take when it is finished. The leaders have money and resources. The public does not

Historically, outbreaks from major diseases follow a near-perfect exponential curve. At the moment, this outbreak is growing by an exponential factor averaging between 1.15 and 1.35. That translates to every 16 days recording 10 times the amount of new cases. That means if we see 46k infected today, a month from now is showing that it will be 4.6 million. Even with a 1% mortality rate, that goes back to 46k fatalities. That is nontrivial. I don't know how many hospital bets are available but I think it is less than 4.6M.

Anyways, that's why it is different than other sicknesses.

Don't those statistics assume no interventions are put into place and no cure or vaccine is found?
