Rush Limbaugh has an interesting theory surrounding the hysteria around the coronavirus.

As Rush points out, the spread of the virus is bringing down the stock market, despite the disease having a 98% survival rate, which means only 2% of the people who are infected with the virus die.

“Folks, this coronavirus thing, I want to try to put this in perspective for you. It looks like the coronavirus is being weaponized as yet another element to bring down Donald Trump. Now, I want to tell you the truth about the coronavirus … The coronavirus is the common cold, folks,” he claimed.

“The survival rate of this is 98%! You have to read very deeply to find that number. Two percent of the people that get the coronavirus die. That’s less than the flu, folks. That is a far lower death statistic than any form of influenza, which is an annual thing that everybody gets shots for. There’s nothing unusual about the coronavirus. In fact, coronavirus is not something new. There are all kinds of viruses that have that name,” the radio host continued.

Limbaugh then warned his listeners not to “let [their] guard down” because any infection would be “miserable” before saying, “I’m telling you, the [Chinese communists] are trying to weaponize this thing.” [Washington Examiner]

That’s an interesting theory and certainly not one anyone sane would put it past communist China to do something like that.
