I thought so. Now I'm sure: the whole thing was a hoax to usher in (a) public obedience training (masks), (b) shutting down our economy to help China prosper ahead, (c) give cover to governors and D.C. to act as tyrants, and (d) to cause nationwide mail-in balloting (as easy fraud to defeat Trump, China's foe).

The other "advantage" is illness and brain damage caused by suffocating in one's exhalations while being deprived of fresh air (oxygen). Also, to get citizens used to ratting each other out to "authorities" for disobedience to the masks... A veritable smorgasbord of tyranny made possible by fear of a fake virus.
