Oh, I see. So basically everything is a “pandemic” these days, since all it takes is a few Spring Breakers to carry disease X from Pesthole Y to Countries A to Q.

Basically, on damn near every level imaginable, a group of elites can push some buttons and create a crisis.
And then use that crisis to advance an agenda.
And then use that agenda to gain more power.
