My initial theory about this was that the fact that China is communist, and communists being communists a mass killing was due. Communists try to make everyone as equal as the weakest among them.
The more weak people there are, the more it hurts the rest of the population. Solution? Create a virus that kills the weak (wipe out the elderly so you can stop taking care of them).
Congratulations, you're old enough to stop being productive...now die.
Communism is the worst system for protecting the weak.
What I'm interested in is how this affects different groups in the US. For example if it infects everyone but only causes serious damage in old people then there should be a serious uptick in old people deaths in communities that don't take precautions vs communities that do take precautions.
In other words, if Chad the Republican hero gets this and insists on visiting ma and Pa who also believe that this is just a hoax to damage their dear leader then they should have a higher mortality rate than Timmy the Timid Dem who takes precautions and doesn't expose his parents (who would probably shoot him if he approaches).
We'll see. Reality is the ultimate bullshit director, and this could have an impact on communities that define their own subjective realities.
For now I am done buying. But if the bears insist on selling, bring it on, I am ready!
