Might there be another political or economic reason for some rich dudes to want to blow it completely out of proportion? I don't know maybe election this and that

No, this is viral. It's hilarious because it's a viral virus. It's blowing itself out of proportion because it's so appealing. We now have a meme-driven bullet-point society where the news cycle is geared toward the chronically overstimulated. You need to keep increasing the dosage in order to get the same fix. So you get this virus, and it hits the news and they're all hungry for it cause nothing else is happening, and the knowledge spreads and everyone is hyping it because any scrap of new information means eyeballs.
Do you know the most popular YouTube video in India
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article...oronavirus-are on the virus are watched by billions and also full of shit? Whoever is behind this channel is raking it in for sure. And that's the hope for everyone, how can I make a buck or get some fame regarding this.
I mean look at this bullshit
https://nypost.com/2020/02/28/israel...virus-vaccine/, how do they know this? How can they possibly make a claim like this? It's utterly impossible to make a valid scientific claim like this and everyone knows that and yet there we are, it's a real story and people are talking about it. Someone in Israel is getting paid right now because of this.
This whole thing is fascinating because we're all what I call superconnected. It's not just the internet at home and in every device, it's the air travel, the porous borders, the cheap gas and cars, everything. We're all now aware of everything all the time at the same time and we can be anywhere while we do it. It's exciting! People are instagramming their panic buying. We are all in this together, do you like what you see?
