Trump is trying to appease the shareholders. The panic is bad for big businesses and for the stock markets.
The danger comes from both sides of the equation. Trump is in denial about it because he's a narcissist who serves the oligarchs, and the panic is bad for the oligarchs. On the other hand, the panic has been blown out of proportions by the talking heads on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
I've just read an article from our state-sponsored news media that addressed all the scaremongering. Photos are showing up of mass graves, et al, but it turns out those photos are stills from the 2011 movie
Contagion. Photos of people storming the supermarkets in China to look for food are also being spread, but those photos were actually from a
Black-Friday-like event in China from a few years ago.
As the matter of fact, both the number of new infections and the number of deaths in Wuhan are dropping. There are of course still worrisome infections in several other countries, and a risk that they would spread. But it
is simmering down, even though the economists and the Wall Street brokers are still in full-on knee-jerk paranoia mode ─ believe it or not, even with the stock markets going negative, there are still people making a profit off of all of it. And
that is the game that's being played.
And no, regardless of what's being said in the alternative media, it is
not a bio-weapon, and it's most definitely
not related to 5G. It would certainly behoove a lot of people to spend a little more time (and attention) in school. ;)
