Such a strange thing to make, a highly transmissible airborne quickly mutating virus as a bioweapon?
It's far too unpredictable as a weapon, bordering on insanity. How could it ever be used as a weapon?
At least anthrax spores settle down and can be decominated. no such option with coronaviruses.
- torstenvl 5y agoIt can be used as a weapon when you have a culture of conformity, a stockpile of masks, a huge manufacturing and scientific base, and zero tolerance for conspiracy theories. Combine COVID with a disinformation campaign and use democracy's messy freedom against it.
- inter_netuser 5y agoIt's possible in theory, but incredibly high risks. Not much different from launching a full out nuclear war, hoping that your defences will sustain the counterattack. Absolutely nuts.
