Have considered this. There could be an actual virus (like SARS) that people would die from if they had comorbid conditions.
As for shutting down the country, there would need to be a secondary reason he’s gone along with it. Empty hospitals while building more when we’re at the “peak” points to this possibility.
I’m expecting some big habbenings to occur that will warrant the lockdown, but I will be forced to reevaluate if we end up with a police state that requires a Bill Gates vaccine for a resumption of our God-given rights.
