It was the flu, but with lots of extra attention from the Live! Action! Drama! crews of MSM.
It almost achieved their desired effect (TP), but now (think HCL),when the people learn they've been had for fools, there will be hell to pay for what they did; even making their very own people[D] who would vote for them in order to not let Trump be re-elected suffer for their evil cause.
This FF(focus) of theirs could be done with any influenza cycle (light, camera, action!), but they waited for this year to give it special coverage with specific November altering intent.
