This dovetails with the CDC’s strange approach starting March of last year that holds COVID-positive people, even when they obviously bled out from a car accident (but were tested or assumed COVID-positive by anyone with form access), died of COVID for statistical purposes. This had never been the case with other maladies like the flu.
You see, this was likely to be one huge global ruse to take control by a narrow group of people. It also served well to lower Trump's time in office, which could have been a major (or sole) reason for it all.
It's a theory.
I think they are worried about a revolt too, but not just from the right. As reality sinks in, gas prices go up, illegals flood in, girl/women’s sports ruined, males in women’s restrooms, higer taxes on everything. They will have revolt from all sides. Plus I think they are more terrified of BLM and Antifa. Troops may never go home.
