China and the coronavirus [View all]

China has an issue with pork not being available due to the swine flu outbreak. Suddenly, there's a coronavirus outbreak linked to a meat market and now 36 million people are in quarantine zones. My belief is this is an engineered virus release by the Chinese government to cover up how bad the food situation in the country really is and force people to eat much less meat during the lunar New Year celebrations this weekend and to travel less. Like all viruses, however, once the genie is out of the bottle, there's no telling what will happen and it's already spread beyond the Wuhan city limits and is now showing up around the globe.
