Or maybe more accurately: if we are going to assume that some "germ" known as COVID19 exists at all, it is possibly only a weak pathogen when it acts alone, but might serve as a co-factor with the flu, maybe making symptoms a bit worse in some people, possibly increasing mortality in those flu patients or for those with other serious illnesses like pneumonia. Hey, maybe the emotional fear alone generated by the COVID19 campaign of terror was enough to increase the death rate among very sick people. We are quantum after all. Mind over matter. Especially if one's life is hanging by a thread as it is, due to other causes unrelated to COVID19.
What does the Cabal gain from so much fear? What is fear? What is a spell?
