Doesn't need to be a military weapon as in the past.Do any of you believe that is is an attack on our nation by China? To weaken us even if it gives them a bloody nose also. A bio war attack on the world with the richest nation weakened and if it does not get things under control, may lash out as a response. China may be betting that we do not. For it may mean the end of everything if we do. Is this idea to extreme?
COVID-19 is a pretty weak bio-weapon. It only kills the old and people with previous medical conditions.
If China wanted to prove that the capitalist system can't adapt to a major crisis, then yes it's effective, but the U.S. can quickly switch to semi-socialist policies temporarily if needed.
In any true military sense COVID-19 isn't an effective bio-weapon.
What they need to do is show us as being weak, and nick our economy. but with that showing their strength to the world.
They are fudging their numbers with their recovery IMO
Optics is everything
