You have touched on what many of us are thinking.
Minimally the named actors and the MSM are weaponizing this pandemic in another attempt to get to single payer, fear/emotion based decision making and a dependent /subservient society.
All the while the pockets of the “ elites” get lined on fake science and overpriced cures
A side benefit is the bankrupting of hospitals and laying off of nurses. Just what the National HC people want.
