Thank you the lack of context was confusing af

You know what? I think there's some merit here though. Think about it: WHY are masks useless? In fact why did the case numbers skyrocket after mask mandates?
Because we're looking at the wrong kind of spread. People put too much faith in hand sanitizers and surface cleaners that don't take care of the real problem - shit particles. Add to that when you put on, take off, adjust your mask you're concentrating shit particles around your mouth and nose that stay there.
What if it all is transmitted through shit and saliva and the masks have done nothing but exacerbate it?
....it's been poopy finger all along!!!!!
Old Chinese proverb say: Man that goes to bed with itchy butt wake up with shitty finger.
I remember at the very beginning of all this, reading something about how the virus can be in your poop, and I remembered that the fecal-oral route is the most virulent method that a virus/bacteria/parasite can possibly be transmitted.
It's not even just what you indirectly touched anymore. It's, did a fly land on a poop particle and then land on something you touched, then you touched your mouth after? Did someone poop in a lake and then a week later someone caught an oyster downriver and ate it? Congrats, now you have (whatever fecal-oral-transmitted organism in question).
It kind of makes sense in a way. If there were a mundane virus that you wanted to use to depress the economy and force a political change, you'd want to find a way to "dial down" the virus at a later date as arbitrarily as you dialed it up.
So if this mundane virus really was quite virulent and spread primarily through physical and close contact, but you maintained the narrative that it was "airborne" (which even the CDC says it's not, technically) then you would have more or less of a constant after some time since people would start wearing masks and socially distancing.
Then you could inflate the case counts with a testing mechanism that contains a "tuning" variable: amplifications. Want more cases reported? Turn up the variable. Want fewer? Turn it down.
But if you were to be honest and say that it was actually physical contact with surfaces that were the primary means of spread, you'd have to REALLY kill the economy to stop it dead in its tracks. No big box stores, no grocery stores, no Liquor Stores, no pot dispensaries, etc. Then you'd see it die out in a month.
But in the end, it is just a mundane virus. It's a mild flu, certainly milder than your run-of-the-mill seasonal influenza and it served its purpose.
