I wonder if this about stopping false flags. Very odd that air traffic control seems disproportionately affected by the virus compared to other airport workers. Where are the headlines about flight attendants or airplane maintenance crews being affected? Don’t they come into contact with the traveling public more than air traffic control? Perhaps air traffic control is being targeted by “the hidden enemy”? Perhaps they’re already compromised (or their equipment compromised by ChiCom technology)?
