Kinda glad you put the tinfoil hat on first so I don't look quite as crazy FF...
I'm not a tinfoil hat guy but there's several interesting aspects of this from an economic point of view, especially in China where it originated. Right now the deaths don't back up the theories unless China has severely underreported or this keeps going and kills more and more people.
#1 is that elderly makes up 17% of China's population...a population that no longer contributes to the economy and as a matter of fact(this is not meant to offend any older people here it's just fact from an economic point of view) are an overall drain to the economy. This is devestating on the elderly population in a country that is already overpopulated.
#2 is this mostly leaves children alone, the strong backs that the future Chinese economy will be built on to try and overtake the US as #1
#3, there's concerns that males who contract this virus may have fertility issues...again... overpopulation control?
China had a goal to overtake the US economy I believe by 2019 and that failed. Slightly interesting timing. Maybe China knew they could curb it's spread in their own country through strong handed communistic methods thatd never work in the us leading to larger impacts here that cripple the economy and allow China to overtake?
Again, so far the numbers don't back any of this up, I've seen much crazier theories though. Something about airplanes spreading a digital virus that can be turned off and on with 5G towers LMAO
