Covid was Bidens Reichstag fire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_fire
Let me ask you one simple question that should tell all: had elections been 3 November 2019, how do you think they would have gone?
Covid is real, just like many other issues. The problem is that these issues and the solutions, actions taken, etc. are more more about politics than anything else. Somewhere buried under the government Fauci bullshit really is a disease, it really did kill a lot of folks, but aside from the vaccine where the government did a great job, ALMOST NOTHING the government did actually accomplished anything, and in some cases it did more harm than good (see Cuomo and the old folks homes), but in almost all cases people had their rights violated so that some buffoon in government can show the masses he did something. You had folks in government stumbling over each other, both politicians and bureaucrats, inventing ever more stupid ideas so that they can get their 15 Warhol minutes.
What did closing the schools accomplish? What did closing all the restaurants accomplish? What did closing public beaches accomplish? What did closing public swimming pools accomplish (especially outdoor)? Actions for the sake of taking actions. But always someone in government behind a microphone telling us to subjugate ourselves to ever greater stupidity in the name of "science" and to protect each other from a virus which we could at best slow the spread of a little bit at a huge economic cost.
Covid was the tool which got Biden elected.
Close. A PLA script to see exactly how the US and the rest of the world would react to a rogue Chinese nuke or even a limited nuclear exchange, which would be intended to draw down populations in China, India, Malay, Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and North America.
They now know the answer. Nothing. No reaction. Green light.
