The stats are crap.
It’s not something I could easily prove, but I have suspected from an early stage that this COVID-19 was designed to make ordinary coronavirus look like a killer pandemic, by accelerating co-morbidities and being very easy to spread around the population. And the reason it was designed in the first place was not directly aimed at Trump (why a global pandemic to overturn an American president?) but it was to force action that the “climate emergency” had failed to generate from the political process.
This is not my thought process, but that of the designers (one might say patrons) of COVID-19. Slow the economy to a crawl, especially long distance travel and airline activity, and perhaps the climate emergency could be overcome. If the virus just stops looking like a real problem (and it is quite close to that stage now) then try to morph openly from the pandemic lockdown to a climate emergency lockdown.
“We might as well keep the lockdown going because now we’re saving the planet from extinction.”
This is actually something you can read all over the progressive side of the internet. It is quite widely believed and I suspect many on the left have sort of figured out what’s actually going on, but since they approve (end justifies the means) they go along, no harm done in their opinions.
Does the president realize this is happening? Would his intel resources figure it out or tell him if they did figure it out? The problem is, this is one man’s treason but another man’s selfless act to save humanity.
What I wonder is this — how long will it be before this scenario is more generally understood and what will be the political response to it? Because basically, the pandemic as a stealth response to climate emergency is the usurpation of responsible government by elites acting without any consultation or any mandate from anybody. They have wrecked the economy just to see if it will change the average temperature, if it doesn’t, they will just pretend they were never involved, if it does, they might get cocky and claim success and ask to be highly respected, perhaps even worshipped, for their brilliance.
Where have we heard about such a thing? Right. There.
