This was certainly planned out. The way in which the country was lulled into believing we had to wear masks, allowed for the enemy to grow in ranks unnoticed.
The reason this has occurred IMHO is because we continue to underestimate the opponent.
We take too long to connect the dots.
We turn a blind eye to things we should pay attention to.
We blindly follow orders.
We don't ask the right questions.
It was inevitable that this would happen because it was the only way people would wake up. Too bad it had to go the extreme of people being injured.
Maybe we start asking better questions.
Maybe we will stop underestimating the opponent.
Would be great if we could pull this off.
