I had a thought last night regarding the Russian mission to Italy.
What if the reason Russia sent military personnel rather than the civil emergency ones is that what we are actually dealing with is Biowarfare and either Russia informed Italy about it, or Italy asked for help to identify why they have so many cases? I would think the first option is more likely, i.e. Russia approaching Italy with some credible evidence that something is going on and offering to help, being accepted, then having to do the dance around Poland to avoid US interference. Because if Italy discovered it first, they probably would have asked their US friends from the bases, no?
I keep hearing in Romanian news that the initial wave was a mild one and that now more and more complicated cases come up, so it is possible that the virus mutates, but it is also possible that we are not dealing with only one strain and maybe some additional seeding was done in Italy? Maybe it is this strain that is affecting Iran? Maybe that is why Russia closed its borders and China as well? Some of the measures, like China not allowing flights make sense from an immunological perspective, to avoid a wave 2, but it could also well be that we are looking at Biowarfare with a seeded more severe strain.
What do you guys think?
