Hope is the enemy of happiness.

It’s just one long series of non-sequeters.

Mutata in eodem sidere socios

That’s it, the last useful activity. A bike ride. It’ll be taken off me soon enough though.

There’s three candidates for whodunnit Corona; the Chinese, the Americans and the “Europeans”.

Either the Chinese or the Americans would have dunnit for the same reason; global economic dominance.

The Chinese because they have no chance at any other sort of dominance and achieving any form of it would allow their dictator to remain incumbent.

The Americans because they fear the rise of China and want to fuck them while they can.

China’s benefit from this is purely economic; they get to buy all the distressed assets on the cheap and also get to replace domestic production in a bunch of countries with Chinese imports.

America; well it sees China’s output drop and raw materials dry up. The people riot and Xi, well he goes.

I favour the Americans because they’re the ones saying they’ve analysed the Corona bug and that it’s not man made.

The euros; they’d only do it to save the ecology. But they can’t keep a secret nor can they organise a piss up in a brewery. So I doubt it.

Both the Americans and the Chinese would be more than ok with the collateral damage. The euros would struggle.
