A one post fake blog about absolutely nothing[0], knocked-up five minutes ago, on a garbage domain extension registered a few weeks ago, exploiting the clickiest topic of the day and posted to HN. Who's the coronavirus spammer here, exactly?

[0] The only issue after wasting my time reading most of the post is that it was, according to the author, spam (UCE). Otherwise it's no more remarkable than any other affiliate marketed ebook trash that aren't worthy of blog posts.

To fill the article the author complains that the book simply gives "trivial" tips; but if the tips are good advice ("proper handwashing techniques") or at least not harmful, so what? Maybe there are people who don't trust the Federal Government or UN or WHO or CNN but take advice from the kind of thing you might find advertised on alexjones.com.

The rest of the article is just about the ways companies hide who they are and use fake office addresses. Again, so what? It's not something I particularly support or agree with but it's commonplace, not a secret and seemingly not illegal.

I was struggling to see why this was written, other than it's related to the topic of the century, until I noticed it was a fake site with only one post and that is the only reason it was written.

I suspect the idea was to expose them, hurt their business, and maybe turn the eyes of the law in their direction. I don't see anything that would bring about the level of anger you express unless you're tied to their profits. Are you?

Are you selling a potentially illegal pandemic ebook and hoping to profit from a competitor being taken down?

Baseless paranoid accusations are easy, and completely missing the point of a post - annoyance at low-effort junk posted to HN by site owners for the purpose of leeching page rank - isn't an excuse for resorting to them.
