Why is everyone wearing a mask except for Joe?
If someone can get away with disobeying a law, they are emboldened and feel as if the are privileged to be able to do whatever they want.
They use small pox as the sword of Damocles.
Well, if it ain't really Joe, then all of the rest are Deep State and are in Deep Shit.
The only reason they are there is so that they can be exposed.
