Panic first, scam followed.

I thought too, at first. Now, I’m not sure.

The current panic in China proves it was panic from the start. Unless you believe they are faking it?

Hard to say. I live in Japan. At first, it was largely ignored here. Japan closed its borders after China closed its borders. Quite some time after. only after tons of criticism for not taking it seriously, did they close the borders and start with other “recommendations”. It wasn't until our second wave that any restrictions based upon the recommendations were issued.

China faking it? it is China. They faked fireworks for the broadcast of the opening ceremony of the Olympics a few years back, not the recent Winter Olympics.

If they are faking it by locking down 27 million Shanghai citizens, who are now running out of food, how is that supposed to perpetuate the scam, to convince the West to do the same? We were crazy the first time around, we are not going to be that crazy a second time around. No, it's all panic, and it was panic from the start, followed by the usual scam artists.

Why are they locking down again? Scam or panic? There was no panic here in Japan until the testing started. Testing is a scam.

Panic, obviously. Explain to me how you think they're going to pull of a scam for the second time?

How do you pull off a panic the second time. Green soldiers may flee when the first come under fire, buts stand firm under much worse after experience.

Actually, as I( think more on this, it was not until that fraud with the initials of N. F. Out of the UK came up with the number of dead being 5 million that set off the panic. The world media went bonkers over this fraudulent number and the UK PM and the US President and their administrations followed by a few others then changed course and switched gear. Until, the UK PM had publicly stated that his approach would be to let it run its course and his nations population would thus achieve herd immunity. His panic was predicated upon that paycheck drawing no load N. F. and crossed the pond to the US.

510,000 not 5 million. I suggest you keep out of this, you're only 2 years out of date.
