It’s really very simple and you’re grossly uninformed.
First, let’s talk about the death numbers you just listed. They are below the
noise level. More people died driving to work assuming the traffic levels
before the hyped virus. More people by a major factor die of the flu every
year. As the previous poster illustrated so well we had no such reaction to
MERS or SARS or N1H1 and they were dealt with more appropriately. This thing
is being hyped like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Even reputable doctors and
economists are starting to indicate that the hype and panic caused by the media
and governments is far worse than the disease so my opinions are by no means
that far out.
As to who benefits, just follow the money. You’re initiating about 6
trillion dollars of rescue spending in the US most of which is being generated
by the Federal Reserve and if you follow it far enough ends up in the same
pockets. The smaller percentage is going to the individuals or small business
owners, the vast majority is headed for the various financial houses.
Next you have the power structure that’s benefiting. In our own
Congress it’s being found that trades are being placed based on secret
information or classified briefings.
You also have the short sellers. A certain few who are privy to
classified information and a subset of the short selling community were able to
place orders that benefitted greatly during the downturn. It’s called a
classic pump and dump strategy. You short on the dump and you buy long on the
pump. This enables you to make money on both the crashing markets caused by
the hype and then by the rebound when the hype machine is redirected to going
back to work. Many of these folks who are so well positioned are in the media
establishment and have control over what’s reported. With the right pieces in
place you can maximize the return on the Crisis by influencing the population
and introducing articles or stories where they make the most impact.
Worst case estimates for the US at least are death rates in the 1.31%
range. This is by no means worth tanking the economy. However, if you follow
the money just like the crash in 2006 - 2009 a few well placed folks made money
on both sides of that series of events and a trillion dollar money grab took
place by certain folks and organizations in the financial industry. (Paulson’s
hedge fund comes to mind) This sort of thing is being repeated all over the
globe.
Nice try though.

THere’s a lot of hype around this virus deal as it looks to me to be more
of a financial grab and power grab but that’s me.
Not going to get involved in a flame war, but thankfully, it really is just
you and a few others that think like that.
In Spain, 655 people died in one day.
In Italy, 793 people died in one day.
In the U.S., four people in the same family died in one day.
What do you mean by "financial grab"? Governments around Europe are paying
up to 80% of people's wages and racking up staggering amounts of long-term
debt like never before.
How on earth could this possibly benefit anyone?
And what does this have to do with Raspberry Vi?!?
