The worst case scenario makes one fall into a lose lose situation, a la "this virus is a total hoax" or "this virus is totally real"
If you go for one or the other you're only half right, therefore proven wrong, lost, at one point or another...
The virus is real, and nasty, granted it's not as nasty as ebola, but enough to send boris johnson to the hospital and a couple of semi-celebs to the grave. And at the same time it's embedded into a hoax, a manufactured reality, we can start to see that now
Republicans or democrats, right or wrong, true or false, with or against, coca or pepsi, right or left, yes or no... See what I did here?
It's both motherfuckers, what did you expect? A walk in the park?
Well, here's a question for you:
Let's say by the end of May (when flu season is typically considered over), we measured the total world corona + flu deaths and compared that to flu deaths from a previous year...
If they were comparable, would that change your mind about the severity of this supposedly new virus? Or would you chalk that up to the tremendous economy destroying isolation measures we've taken?
If it ends up being a lot more deaths than say 2017-2018's flu deaths I'd be prepared to admit I was wrong.
Again false equivalency
Here's another one; In france for instance you get 70,000 tobacco related death a year, on average, conservative estimate https://tobaccoatlas.org/country/france/
Did we stop the economy for that? Why?
It's not a false equivalency because the claim being evaluated is that this IS the flu. No A flu. THE flu.
It's possible that it's something different, but it would be important to look at some data to make that determination. Do you see what I'm saying?
Boris or any other household name doesn't have to actually be sick for them to say that he is.
A disproportionately high number of celebrities "are sick".

Shit is real, it kills period, and it infects much, much, much, much more than it kills, it's a fucking fact
All the faggots saying it's all fake are all wrong, they need to get out of the binary thinking plantation
