I’ve opined that right about the time this virus peaks in the U.S. would be a fine time for some opportunistic strike to further knock us off balance, and spin up more fear and confusion in the 2020 elections. The usual cast of suspects for events, not really wanting to gin up conspiracy theories, I won’t list them here.

I have no evidence that this is going to happen, it’s just one of those “If I was somebody lookin’ to gain an edge, I’d do this” moments.
