Ok, let’s get down to brass tacks. Is this thing bio-engineered

The current mortality rate is 20% going by recovered vs dead.
Of course that’s not entirely accurate because they aren’t testing everyone so we don’t know who has gotten it and recovered but 1% is being too optimistic. The true number even in a best case scenario is probably about 3-5%. Spanish flu had a mortality rate of 2% so I don’t think it’s that outlandish a figure for something being made to kill.

also, the real effects could be 1 year downstream. make it mild so everyone gets it, the after 1 year of complacency and 99.9% of population carrying it boom everyone starts dropping. even if this isn't that, it wouldnt even be that hard or expensive to engineer something that
