I do believe the Hard Right have found our poet-laureate. You, sir, win the comments, yet again.

Worse than West Nile
It kills a percentile
Has a cough that just won't stop
With a sneeze that carries disease
The Hong Kong Fluuey hops!

Hong Kong Fluuey
Number one super bug
Hong Kong Fluuey
Don't give any one a hug

Snakey SARS snakey SARS
Shakey Wuhan shakey Wuhan
Batty SARS gets shackin'
With a COUGH COUGH COUGH

Hong Kong Fluuey …
It's PAN-DEMIC!

(to the tune of the theme from the American
cartoon series "Hong Kong Phooey")

I can't deny accusations against communism, but the Chinese have at least made a move that would prolong the power of the CCP. Economically, their markets are as capitalist as they can be, too much in fact. Socially and politically, the Chinese people are under the tyranny of the CCP. I know the government is still manipulating the currency and building ghost cities, but their plan has kept them afloat until their citizens colonize the rest of the world and until they buy enough European (and American?) properties like ports.

Given that people die by less deadlier diseases at far greater numbers I can only conclude that the whole corona virus thing is blown up to huge proportions. Hedge funds around the world are salivating at low stock prices for airlines and other tourist or travel related assets. It has to be a targeted attack. I wish I was rich enough to cash in on this crisis if I'm honest. I just have to do something quickly before the currency crisis I guess.

Extremely funny. I nearly coughed up a lung when I read that book. The drunken pilot with the monkey co-pilot sticks out as a particularly good example of "Africa Wins Again".
