Phase 1
Engineer a virus that is very
contagious and release it in Dec 2019. This virus is similar to the
flu virus from a genome standpoint. By early summer when the virus finally
dies out,a bout 35% of the Chinese population have gotten sick and have
recovered. Over in America, only about 1% had this bug due to very energetic efforts to contain it.
Phase II
November 2020 - A second engineered virus is released
in Hunan China. However. This bug, while also highly contagious is
virtually identical to the Phase 1 bug with the exception that it
also has a gene complex that makes it very lethal with a mortality
rate higher than that of Ebola.
Results
Perhaps 500 million Chinese get sick and die, but not
those millions who got the original Phase 1 dude. They are basically immune.
Over in the US and other developed countries where the original bug
was highly contained... Well that would be a very different story will
many tens of millions dead.
The economic scenarios for China and
the US would also be very different. As morbid as it may sound, China can
easily afford to kill off half a billion of its citizens, while the US would suffer
much more and might even see an economic collapse, as a result.
Moral
Why engage in a messy world war when
you can defeat your opponents with a tiny bug!
