Your conspiracy theories are STUPID and I hate them. No the Coronavirus won& #39;t spread exponentially. Shutting down flights to China is stupid and counterproductive. Do not listen to idiots on Reddit. https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/29/coronavirus-china-lab-virology-wuhan-virus-not-bioweapon/">https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/2...

It should be lost on no one just how many times the Toronto Sun became a nexus for conspiracy and crazy. Candice Malcolm and Trek Fatah pumped insane bioweapon conspiracies. Brian Lilley and Joe Warmington went to the airport and pointed at Asian people to encourage flight bans.
This isnt a question of "oh the Sun is too partisan." The Sun columnist roster, and the paper itself, is spreading conspiracy, misinformation, and panic amid a public health emergency. And I guess they& #39;ll face to repercussions for it.
And here, Joe Warmington advocating straight-up racism, over the objections of actual public health officials. The Sun happily publishing this. https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/warmington-mayor-wrongly-chastises-residents-over-reaction-to-coronavirus">https://torontosun.com/news/loca...
Lots of accounts replying to this to go "lol this aged well!" So, yeah, the tweet was dumb. I was referring to the projection from the story which predicted 11 million cases by the end of Feb. I should have said we won& #39;t see *crazy* exponential growth. https://news.umich.edu/containment-efforts-appear-to-step-covid-19-spread-down-from-exponential-norm/">https://news.umich.edu/containme...
