The only thing the Chinese can come up with on their own is new viruses and fireworks.

check out the main thread. It was ridiculous how some posters were so wrong but confident in their opinions. I think someone said 1k max death and business back as usual.

But the media has a thing for exotic virus fear mongering.

This seemed to be the most common thought process that I came across...

I mentioned in that same thread that as an Executive at Charmin, Americans should stock up on toilet tissue as it has many uses in a pandemic such as reducing fever, being a disinfectant, a breathing aid, an emergency telephone, and a 22 caliber pistol.

Classic Darth.
