All the sources of information are suspect in my view. All nations, all media, all reports. Perhaps some people actually caught a virus. Perhaps it's a bullshit test that picks up RNA pieces that are prevalent everywhere anyway. I lean toward the latter.

How the virus impacts various regions, including the economic fallout, depends on how much the ruling class needs to crush that culture. There's no statistical reason to lockdown anyone. Quarantine the sick, weak, and vulnerable - anything else is tyranny, brainwashing, and training their debt slaves - all while crushing independence, small business, and centralizing the corporatocracy's power.
