It won't be anything as drastic as that.....A time coordinated physical attack by 50 to 100 bad guys will cause a cascading failure that will be hard to come back from.


Here is a good article on the subject

So far "social unrest" is the top vote getter... at almost 50%.

Default here's my source- where's yours?

In reply to TRex2...

Here's the source I referred to before making that claim:
https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashb...23467b48e9ecf6

I think we may even be leading on a per capita basis, but that's just my guess.

You might say the numbers in this country are fudged. And I might say they might be fudged all around the world.

At any rate, here's a source which proves my claim that the USA has been hot the hardest. It has the most deaths and the most cases. If you have a source claiming otherwise, please post it and we'll discuss them.

You have a point,, although I would say it is "one of the most vulnerable."
A real world test of this theory showed that it required more than one round, but was "do-able."

Your source does not show fatalities per capita, nor any other measure that would prove your claim. Comparing the US total cases is a false comparison. Plus, you are right about numbers being fudged. We pad our numbers to show more cases than we have, all others fudge them to show less cases. No discussion needed. Nor is there any further discussion forthcoming.

One 'well' placed round... and it's not a theory.

i dont understand what about the rona seems custom designed to target the US. do you think the chinese developed a virus to target round eyes?
