Why the US is desperate to flatten the curve!

This whole coronavirus event is a timing issue for the United States and much of the world. It hinges on a number of factors including; the time of year (season), its transmisibility (eg. the quality of a disease or trait being able to be passed on from one person or organism to another.

"what measures should be taken will depend on the transmissibility of the virus", recovery time once infected and the overall disruption to varying levels of the global supply chain.

The more I've thought about it, the more convinced I am that this viral particle was, at least in part, engineered by the People Republic of China. (The proof of the pudding would lie in what China does next, as this bug will be long gone by early spring).

So, what's next? Time will tell. But if I were looking to take out parts of American an instill global panic, I'd do something to either the water supplies or electric grid. Just spitballing.
