I put this under 'politics' because I see the same thing happening now, only with the substitution of China for Germany in the conspiracy theories. The following comes from a novel by Marilynn Robinson, "Gilead" where an old minister is writing a long rambling letter (in the edition I have 282 pages long), when he digresses into discussing the Spanish influenza. It just sounded so up to date to me complete with conspiracy theories attacking the current enemy. [Bold added by me]
