I hate to say it but I think its all political. Literally anything to dethrone Trump. The hate is so deep.

It fascinates me how quickly our rights were basically taken away. Its scary to think about.

*don’t like one bit. Lemmings.

However, I do agree. It’s very political and also some corporate greed thrown in a seasoning. What company stands to gain the most from this (and already has)? It’s easy...and possibly part of the bigger answer we seek.

It’s not a rhetorical question. C’mon y’all...this is easy.

Once the panic began, everyone that could take advantage of it did. They jumped on it and made sure they perpetuated it. Politicians, the media, the medical community, big tech, online retailers - there's a long, long list of people who benefited from this in a very big way. Once the panic engine kicked in they all jumped on the opportunity to perpetuate it and take full advantage of it.

Amazon?

IMO, for what it's worth; I believe Amazon (and Jeff's ex-wife) stands to gain the most from this.

From Trey Gowdy: "I'm not saying Covid-19 isn't real... But Pay attention folks, there's much more going on here than what meets the eye. Is it a coincidence that just when the economy is booming, the stock market is setting record highs, we are winning the trade wars, school shootings have stopped, our nation is at peace, the Democratic party is a disaster and so is their likely nominee? (Biden). He hasn't a chance in hell & they're not about to let an outsider(Bernie) destroy their scheme. It looks like Trump is a sure bet for reelection after fending off 3 years of investigations and impeachment, then all of a sudden world crisis pandemic. Stock market tumbles, companies are laying off employees, everything is closed and canceled, CEO's of giant companies are resigning and indictments are coming. Now they say there are a couple ways a President doesn't win reelection. Those are an unpopular war or a poor economy. But there is something larger going on here driving this sudden outbreak right after Trump beats an impeachment. Especially the fact that it (Corona Virus) originated in China who we are in a global trade war with; brought on by Trump. Let's not forget Biden's back door deals with CHINA as well. China doesn't want 4 more years of Trump either. It all seems rather convenient for the nations and opponents of our current President and economy 5 months before an election. Couldn't have hit at a more perfect time. With the Democrats running out of campaign talking points, in light of no school shootings, no migrant caravans at the southern border, fighting in Syria winding down, North Korea not firing missiles and Trump beating a sham impeachment. The Corona Virus gave them one last hail Mary to try and point fingers at Trump with the clock winding down in 2020. This is almost the perfect fascist playbook. Control the population with fear-mongering and panic, control the media, spread propaganda and the fan-favorite disarm the population. Oh, and did anyone notice that while they are mad as hell at Trump for not sending aid to Ukraine, they THEMSELVES voted AGAINST giving ANY emergency aid to all Americans ? Sorry but I don't think we are all going to die. Remember when Ebola was what was going to kill us all, and the media kept showing the piles of body bags that were prepared for the fallout. Then a month later it was totally forgotten. The common flu has killed more people this year already and the media is SILENT! A handful of deaths out of 320 million Americans and we are in panic tearing down our society and costing our economy billions in the wake. It all just seems fishy, a little too well-timed if you ask me." Trey Gowdy

I should hasten to add that even though the principal theme of the above sited article resonates with me, not everything stated or implied therein is in concordance with my beliefs.
