As to whether this "crisis" is manufactured? I don't know. What I do know is that it is happening and the government is responding according to a prearranged plan. School closings are part of the social distancing policies established by CDC. In Texas alone, 53,000 students were affected by school closings this week.
If the WHO raises their phase from 5 to 6, you will see an acceleration of social distancing measures in the United States because that is a trigger in the plan.. Things like the closing of theaters and canceling sporting events. Widespread school closings and businesses going to staggered work forces. There may be mass quarantines and forced exams. How do I know all this? The CDC plan is a public document and I read it. In fact, I posted it to FR yesterday. I also listened in on a conference call held by CDC and FEMA lawyers on the legal issues surrounding Non-Pharmaceutical mitigation legal issues - things like how to implement mass quarantines under current law.
This is happening, whether we want to believe it or not.
It’s all frightening. Thanks for the info (I think?). Info is good. I’m taking the cautious approach. Me and those near & dear are staying away from crowds for sure.
