How much you want to bet that this is all the first test run for Pandemic freakouts and lockdowns?

I theorize that we will regularly see authoritarians hype up new illnesses to impose tyrannical control, even locally, and to attack opponents of big government for not "caring enough" when they try and stop them.

"Stay inside, bigot" will be their new rallying cry.

I actually think that if this virus doesn’t have as many casualties as the left predicted, we will never do this garbage again. A lot of people are gonna be pissed if they lost their jobs, homes, and cars for nothing.

The problem I see with that is that they will say it wasn't that bad precisely because they pissed all over the Bill of Rights.

There is no going back, ‘pedes. Whatever life we knew before the toilet paper hoarding is gone.

We will become more dependent upon our government as the feds print “infinite cash”.

People will be desperate very soon. If not already.

It's quite brilliant actually. I'm suprised how many people are willing to go along with it because that's the only way it works. It's like this is a test run

I think we will be numb to it, but I think they will still use this as the excuse to try and take "emergency measures" to stop the spread of Unicorn flu or whatever else the labs have lined up.

I wonder how many of these before we are all singing "mini tunes" while eating at taco bell, and driving cars that turn into canolis when they crash.
