If this is a covert bio-war then the mask and 6 ft distance makes sense because it would highlight anyone intentionally spreading a bio agent. Ditto hand washing.

People always think it has to be one thing or the other. Its ALWAYS several complicated things all happening at once.

Imagine a power shifting asteroid impact was known by tptb around the world. There would be a lot of shenanigans in the run up to it as military put pieces in place for clean-up and to protect sovereignty in the aftermath. There would also be shenanigans between the political parties.

The 3 gorges dam could be an weather DEW operation in response to the bio attack as in... stop it or your dam blows.

It's not 'this' or 'that' ...it's everything all at once.

Open your perspective.
