#5The private health companies need to hire these folks en masse to a jointly owned company and provide a contract disease surveillance service to CDC. But they probably make more money if people get sick. The whole reason for public health spending right there.

The function of “healthcare” in the US is to separate families from their generational wealth at end of life. The way the system is set up all a persons assets will be used up and depleted paying for required care Medicare does not cover (in home or assisted living). Only when a person is destitute with all their assets depleted will Medicaid kick in.
The result is a transfer of wealth from individuals to the for profit health care industry. Only the wealthy have enough assets to survive this process to leave something to their heirs.

Ooh I love this conspiracy theory, but who needs bioweapons when Chinese labs will leak deadly viruses through sheer incompetence?
