(1) It is highly infectious;What that means is that:
(2) It has a high lethality, killing something like 3% of those infected;
(3) Risk of mortality increases with age.
(a) Most people throughout the world will likely contract the disease within the next couple of years;What that all means is that:
(b) Several hundred million people worldwide will die from the disease;
(c) Most deaths will be of pensioners in the most developed nations.
(i) The burden of social security in the most developed nations will be radically lifted as the number of pensioners is cut by 10 to 30%, and perhaps by well over half if the virus returns over a number of years;The most important net effect will be to save the Western nations from self genocide by suppression of native fertility (due to the burden of high housing and social services costs) and an end to mass population replacement immigration as native workers are released from service to the older generation, and thus freed to take the jobs that "natives won't do."
(ii) The number of young people engaged in the "eldercare" business will be radically reduced;
(iii) The cost of housing will fall and fertility rates will rise as the transfer of assets from the old to the young accelerates.
Whether as the result of a lucky accident or the planned release of an engineered virus, the overall effects will likely be judged by historians to have been beneficial.

Or. She's nuts.
Then again, older people get respiratory ailments that would connect to all this, so... It's interesting. Stick with it and you'll see.
A compelling case for something difficult to believe!
DeleteBut the weirdness of seeing multiple videos from Wuhan of people afflicted with a supposedly flu-like virus going into convulsions or dropping dead in the street is something that calls for an explanation.
As to the theory she suggests, who could evaluate it? It would take a good knowledge of both physiology and physical chemistry, a combination rarely to be found.
It has been reported that Covid19 can invade the central nervous system and do serious damage to the brain, including interfering with the nerve center responsible for breathing. Most likely it is some such effects, not radio waves, that account for the alarming convulsions of some virus victims.
