Maybe you should turn off the television news, sweetie.
I don't watch TV except for motor racing and the auto auctions.
While our opinions vary, it doesn't mean that both of us can't be correct.
Bioweapons are very real. The poor man's nuke. If you followed Q from day 01, there were discussions related to outstanding WMDs, specifically EMPs. Those were neutralized (Black Eye), which left the rogue elements of the Deep State with the only other option - BIO. (In case you weren't aware, the fentanyl issue is asymmetrical chemical warfare waged on the US, very successfully. Why do you think busts of 10-20 lbs of fent are common? One load can wipe out a major city.)
Anyhow, back to BIO. A weapon was developed. We know this because it what is going to tie everything back to China and Wuhan and Fauxi. Fauxi is about to be exposed as a fraud and a traitor. He's my running bet for first indictment.
Now, was the weapon released? I have no idea. There is obviously a massive information operation being played out with all elements of IW/IO - PSYOP, CYBER, etc. - being employed. The fact of the matter is nothing is absolute and we do not know the absolute facts as to what is happening.
FWIW, I have experience in battlefield medicine and in the sciences, and also an EMT. If I say it was not the flu, it wasn't any form I've seen, symptom-wise. Unless you're a pretty blonde woman, don't patronize me, "sweetie". I'm a pretty serious dude.
