>>11614339>You believe that the elite are intentionally losing themselves billions in dollars worth of profits for what reason exactly?Who says they're losing anything? Are you just basing this off of current stock prices? When you're at the top like that you don't lose anything during downturns, in fact you gain. Your competitors do massive fire sales and you get to buy up their fraction of the pie wholesale. Political power is how much of the pie you own, not the overall amount of pie.
>Why would a lockdown be helpful for the elite whatsoever?It conditions compliance in citizenry. Extends their surveillance grid. Look at what they're rolling out next with contact tracing. Plus all the police state overreach with police and armed guards making sure everyone is in lock step with lock down protocols. Oh and cracking down on "non-authoritative" sources, many of whom were the ones to call the outbreak when the "experts" were going on about "just like the flu". They are effectively rolling out martial law and killing free speech and privacy all with one stone.
>Furthermore, the virus is 99% similar to another strain found on Pangolins.Actually no, the backbone is novel. It is related but not that related. It is about 90% related.
