I don't know that I'd go so far as to call the virus a hoax. But someone took the ball and ran with it, that's a certainty.
So, I don't know what the intended objective was, unless it was just about destroying our economy, but I know what I've learned from it. My SHTF plans have kinda' been neglected.
The virus itself is real; its impact was a hoax.
Here's what I've learned:
Even people I used to think were reasonable and intelligent become stark raving crazy people when told to do so by the media. Those who appeared to rely on common sense combined with data in the past became parrots and confirmation bias hysterics. And I'm not gonna lie, I mentally mock all the tards walking around with their masks like that's going to stop a killer virus.
AND the abject helplessness of so many Americans....
Oh dear, how can I make a mask??
Tie a ****ing bandana or scarf around your face, you dumb gootz.
Then there are the "good citizens" who turned in their neighbors for having a get together.....they are in a frightening category all their own.
It's fascinating to watch and I'm getting an education that I really should have to pay for.
Oh. Wait. I am paying for it.
