winterwatch | There is something very sketchy about the official cases of coronavirus versus the string of important people who have it.
Either the cases are already many, many multiples higher than the
1,200 in the U.S. acknowledged, or there is a big-time psychological
operation in play. It’s probably both, as the game is generating panic
at this point.
And what better way to trigger a full-blown panic than for Trojan Horse Trumpenstein to call the affliction “
just like the regular flu” on Monday, and then Wednesday evening turn around and implement a
draconian 30-day ban on all travel from Europe. Talk about suddenly yelling fire in a crowded theater.
Also throwing a match on the kindling was National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Fauci’s warning that “
millions” of Americans could contract the virus if Americans are “complacent.”
Axios
reports, citing two sources briefing on the meeting, that Congress’
in-house doctor told Capitol Hill staffers at a close-door meeting this
week that he expects
75 million to 150 million people in the U.S. — roughly one-third of the country — will contract the coronavirus.
One of my remarks was this: “Look for a big celebrity who’s active on Twitter to ‘come down’ sick to help trigger a panic among the plebs.”
And now, lo and behold
Tom Hanks and his wife have announced they have the coronavirus. Has to be Oprah next?
