It was intended to drown out the Hong Kong protests, which it did masterfully. All the fucking chink worshipping sleeper cells in the US then latched onto the use of this scare tactic as a suppression technique and used it to try and attack Trump. But just like every retarded thing they do, it just exposed how retarded they and their followers really are. It only exposed it to us though, and people that already know that the Sino-Democrat party in the US is a gaggle of retards. The retards themselves still walk as blindly as they did before all of this nonsense.
