“Pay attention folks, there's much more going on here than what meets the eye.

Is it a coincidence that just when the economy is booming, the stock market is setting record highs, we are winning the trade wars, school shootings have stopped, our nation is at peace, the Democratic party is a disaster and so is their likely nominee(Biden). He hasn't a chance in hell & they're not about to let an
outsider(Bernie) destroy their scheme.

It looks like Trump is a sure bet for reelection after fending off 3 years of investigations and impeachment, then all the sudden world crisis pandemic. Stock market tumbles, companies are laying off employees, everything is closed and canceled, CEO's of giant companies are resigning and indictments are coming.

Now they say there are a couple ways a President doesn't win reelection. Those are an unpopular war or a poor economy.

But there is something larger going on here driving this sudden outbreak right after Trump beats an impeachment. Especially the fact that it(Coronavirus)originated in China who we are in a global trade war with brought on by Trump. Let's not forget Biden's back door deals with CHINA as well.

China doesn't want 4 more years of Trump either. It all seems rather convenient for the nations and opponents of our current President and economy 5 months before an election. Couldn't have hit at a more perfect time.
With the Democrats running out of campaign talking points in light of no school shootings, no migrant caravans at the southern border, fighting in Syria winding down, North Korea not firing missiles and Trump beating a sham impeachment. The coronavirus gave them one last hail mary to try and point fingers at Trump with the
clock winding down in 2020.

This is almost the perfect fascist playbook. Control the population with fear-mongering and panic, control the media, spread propaganda and the fan-favorite disarm the population.

Sorry but I don't think we are all going to die. Remember when Ebola was what was going to kill us all, and the media kept showing the piles of body bags that were prepared for the fallout. Then a month later it was totally forgotten.

The common flu has killed more people this year already and the media is SILENT!

A handful of deaths out of 320 million Americans and we are in panic tearing down our society and costing our economy billions in the wake. It all just seems fishy, a little too well-timed if you ask me...�

Tim, you're entitled to believe what you want but it's important to
remember that half baked Facebook conspiracy theories are dime a
dozen. On the other hand there is plenty of hard evidence that the
virus is a serious risk. You have the advantage of being in a fairly
rural area, probably without a lot of outsiders, so you're immediate
risk is fairly low. People in large metro areas are not so lucky.

Stay safe and take Facebook with a grain of salt.



I barely recall the Swine Flu epidemic back in 2010. Many more people
affected and many deaths. But as bad as it was, it didn't capture the
attention or have the effect this coronavirus thing has had, both in
concern by the medical/scientific community and in their advice and
recommendations.

Even the Ebola scare didn't cause this much concern.

The medical/scientist types may have reason for their concerns.
I have a feeling that 2020 may go down in history as one of the
most concerning spread of a disease or virus, certainly in our
lifetimes.

The disease may not be the worst but the "concern" certainly is. Do
you think it has anything to do with the election?
