What does a dangerous animal do when it's trapped? It will do anything to try and escape. Don't you think that the [DS] released a bioweapon to try to get the upperhand?
Think how most people in China and Europe are being heavily restricted.
This whole lockdown is something out of an dystopian novel. The danger is not in the virus (deadly or not) but in the fact that regular people are pretty much begging for very draconian measures to limit freedom.
I can see how Q and team is using this to their advantage and think the [DS] overplayed their hand, but seeing the incredible speed in which basic rights are taken away in record speed is something I am somewhat surprised in seeing.
If Q+ wasn't in power and the 16 year plan would have still been in place, we'd all have been in a very difficult position to change this around.
