    Thank God this bioweap- pandemic is not actually serious, because governments have been largely unprepared.
    Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

          I rate this trolling 2/10.

                Good one

                1) I (and others on Tweb) have advanced arguments why it's not actually serious
                2) That most governments were unprepared is obvious to anyone paying attention
                3) Bioweapon is a reasonable hypothesis given that the two hardest hit countries are Iran and China

                  Why conclude bioweapon when it just seems to be a coronavirus, of a family already known to exist in animals, that have in the past also shown to be infectious towards humans. I have no more reason to conclude that this is an instance of a bioweapon than the Spanish Flu was.

                    Good, you think 1) and 2) are plausible.

                    For 3), also because the Chinese reacted as if it was a bioweapon.

                      Oh, and by the way, once you realise that 1, 2, and 3 are plausible, with 1 and 2 being most likely the case, you should retract the accusation of trolling.

                        You're free to draw all the faulty conclusions you want.

                        See this is better trolling Demi, this is a nebulous statement that requires a lot of unpacking, without saying anything at all. So you're freer to pull in weird articles or make broad unspecific claims. That way you can engage in fact-free conspiracy thinking. At any rate, you're vastly overestimating the competence of the Chinese government.

                        As it stands it's a virus we've known variants of since the sixties, it exists in the animal population, the variants we've known of were already infectious to humans and now this particular variant has crossed over and has caused what amounts an epidemic that still has yet to breach 5% of the number of people killed by the flu season.

                            You're free to dismiss.

                            Good, we are progressing to point 1) about how it's not serious.

                              I could care less about those points Demi. I will only discuss point 3 (that the corona virus is a bioweapon) in this thread. The rest is all you.
