Pneumonic plague spreads similarly to coronavirus. Bubonic is spread by flea bites. In that way, it's not as serious. There's rabbit Ebola in the US spreading among rabbits. Even US rabbit Ebola they named "Ebola". The only thing you need is a mutation so it can transfer to humans. Why is that not getting Americans paranoid? This is where you get into how Americans will label panda bears as communist. Wet markets are vilified and Western countries have called on the world to abandon them. What's the difference between a wet market and a Western slaughterhouse? Absolutely nothing. They slaughter animals and blood is spilled on the floor and there's human contact. It was even found out there are thousands of local wet markets in the US which alarmed people but US slaughterhouses are somehow better. Why? Because they're owned by big corporate farmers? The same ones that started the 2009 American swine flu? Ironic since local farming in the US is all the rage and it's claimed to be safer than how corporations filled their live stock with hormones and use pesticides on their crops. They're not aware of their contradictions if they cared about being right. When they contradict, it's a test of their control and power that you will blindly obey despite the contradiction.
I was watching Fareed Zakaria's show on CNN and he had political scientist, Francis Fukuyama, on talking about how domestic politicization of coronavirus is the reason why countries that have failed in their response to it.
Quite the contrary to the prejudices portrayed to both the US and China. Normally when someone stands by their "principles" they are the ones that suffer the consequences but here they want everyone else to suffer and not themselves so they can stand by their principles. Americans don't trust their government yet China is supposed to blindly trust and follow their every whim.

If you pay close attention to all the contagious critters in the world, you will see that we have all kinds of weird contagions somewhere in the world all the time since forever. We are noticing them now because of the COVID-19 mess. With the whole public scared and paranoid, media feels that they will get more viewing with any reporting of any diseases spreading. The fact is it's always been like this. Every now and then, we get a perfect storm with all the conditions right and get a pandemic.
Many kinds of past viruses and bacteria, which we had successfully conquered in the past, are making their come back. It's an unsettling feeling...

You make it sound simple. If you ask who is the most ignorant, I think the answer is easy: it's the guy who's there now. If you ask who is more senile, I think it's the other guy. Stupidest? It's impossible to say, given the other two factors. Who will be Biden's nurse -- er, I mean VP?
