Getting my mind around the Coronavirus crisis

HIV/AIDS	Coronavirus
Tens of Millions infected worldwide Approx. 1,000,000 die each year worldwide Approx. 1.7 million infected in US alone Approx. 20K-30K infected in US each year Approx. 6K-8K die in US each year	110,000+ Infected worldwide in month of testing Almost 4,000 deaths worldwide 500+ cases in US 20+ deaths in US
RESPONSE: Let’s continue to venerate the Sexual Revolution Let’s have more sex in as many combos possible Let’s legalize more recreational drugs Let’s rely on medications with possibly fatal side effects that might not work because sex is worth dying for!	RESPONSE: Shut down – Everything Ban travel Quarantine entire regions Shut down schools, churches, all commerce Disrupt entire global markets Impose near martial law Empty store shelves of growing number of products Watch markets collapse Blame Trump

Of course there are other infections, like the Flu.  I pick HIV/AIDS since we don't just ignore the behaviors that lead to it, but encourage them.  So what am I missing?

Plus, in addition to the growing consensus that this could, coincidentally, be what torpedoes Trump's reelection bid, has anyone noticed the Hong Kong protesters - who stormed into 2020 as a major thorn in Beijing's side - have all but vanished? 

Sometimes brainless credulity is needed more to deny a conspiracy theory than to believe one.  I'm not saying we're there yet, but the more I'm seeing, the more that begins to ring true.
