Put out theories that China created it to be devastating. Conspiracy nuts pick up on it and run with it, help legitimize it being deadly and scary. What if it's just another fucking strain of the flu, or not even that, but nothing at all and some bullshit tests? People get seriously sick every day and die from it. Suddenly every occurrence of that is seen as evidence of COVID-19, partly because people start paying attention to people seriously ill.

You might be right. Because when we first started hearing about the virus, 4chan and other sites were flooded with videos of Chinese people dropping dead in the streets, or whole rooms full of people shaking uncontrollably. Obviously, that didn't happen here. So either the videos were fake, or spread as misinformation. They know how information gets around on the internet. It starts on the image boards, then makes its way to the mainstream sites like Twitter and facebook. There was a coordinated attempt to legitimize this virus and make everyone extremely scared of it
