Agree. I just can't wrap my mind around the numbers vs the response. 100,000 infections? Oh noes! That is a vanishingly small number for the US pop. Sounds a lot like the number Russia spent on FB, influencing our election. People buying it though. Officialdom is pushing the fear hard. Either the rumor is true that there are two strains, one deadly, is true, or this is manipulation of the population. For what? Because they have to (respond to fear and thus build it) because they want to (to see what happens and how to deal when something really big happens, or to prevent this from becoming cover for something else) I just don't fucking know. I doesn't make sense to me.
Try harder.

not in 2 secs, but these numbers exist. they would be reported, if journalist were doing their job
soory but complete shite. no sauce, no knowledge. just hey, this is what could be. sometimes i get impatient with pure speculation
um, regular flu causes pneumonia. no need for smart dust. people die from flu, lots of them, every year, because 'it gets in their lungs'
it doesn't take foreknowlege of a crisis to take advantage of that crisis
for sauce see basic common sense
