The aim of all governments is to control the masses by any means fair or foul.
This virus is a perfect excuse to get the masses eyes off the real issues.
If the virus really was a problem, why haven't borders been secured against illegals who could have come from or been in contact with anyone from anywhere?
I sadly know friends killed in car accidents, air accidents, bombings and even Tsunamis but I am yet to even meet someone who had or has SARS, MERS or the latest panic.
I wonder how many Ppuners have met anyone with any of these so called infections?
Many so called experts will make their fortunes from this virus and the responsible parties for the hysteria, media and a myriad of keyboard warriors can latch onto their next rubbish issue. (Maybe Global Freezing)
