In my opinion and with respect for who is suffering from this disease, this Pandemic is nothing more than mass management.
COVID-19 will not cause more deaths than influenza caused in 2019 (650,000 deaths).
A new virus that causes deaths is the favorite subject of the press and if it comes from China it is more fearsome and suspicious.
Like influenza, people will die with this plague.
But this time the great owners of the money will benefit greatly, the panic of the people is their best reward. in a few months this will end, there will be thousands of unemployed, there will be thousands of small businesses in bankruptcy, there will be thousands of mortgages pending payment.
Before answering that I am an ignorant Republican, think about it for a moment.
In 2019 650,000 people died of influenza without TV cameras. (Include USA. No just my Third World)
