Viral photo of covid 19 railroad car; and a discussion of likely possibilities.

The internet is on fire with this picture. Some believe that this is proof that there is a high level conspiracy involved in the Chronavirus (today's boogieman). The simpler explanation is that the railroads likely use letters and numbers to describe car type and use. This is a coincidence, and not photoshop....

Kind of like the Jeep in WWII, being 'named after' a cartoon character; when in fact it was a "GP" (General Purpose) vehicle, which was simply shortened to Jeep.

Article from redid.it on this picture:

I would have ignored this, except snopes says it is false, since they lie about everything on their site; so I had to treat it seriously. Using their History as an example, this tanker car MUST be full of Covid 19 virus!

Did some fun detective work on the COVID-19 tank car r/funny post that is blowing up now. Details in comments.

You should read it, it is a fun discussion, LOL.

The last bit of information is Historical in nature. All government programs are named the reverse of what is expected. Take 'Social Security' as an example; the policy isolates the individual, and offers little security! Look at the 'Affordable Care Act', it is NOT 'Affordable' nor does it offer better 'Care', (but it does provide for death panels) and this was Known when it was initiated.

Following these examples, this car would have had to have been called Health Supplement 19....
