“At most, it was a practice run for a real pandemic.”
I agree. Aside from a global pandemic virus, in time they will also develop a virus that will target specific DNA or body features. They will create a virus that will kill all people with Autism, or eliminate all people with curly hair.
That’s if they want to build a Eugenics-based society on the lines of the Nazis. If they want to burn everything down and rule the ashes, as one freeper has said, they’ll leave the retards living, because they’re easier to manipulate and enslave, and kill all the smart people.
