Little bugs become big bugs when the kids come home from school.

[Raven]

Anyone who has had the slightest contact with children knows this. The kid gets a sniffle and Mom and Dad or Grandma and Grandpa get nailed. No so bad when it is a cold or a stomach bug or even the flu for which there is a vaccine, but with Covid-19, the possibilities are horrifying.

I have only one guess as to why Trump is doing this: families with kids in PUBLIC SCHOOLS, the elderly and folks in other risk categories are FUNGIBLE. This is one more step in Steve Miller's master plan fed to and implemented by a useful idiot with no soul.

1. My honest sentiments on this: They are purposefully trying to create...

a truly epic pandemic/chaos/mass panic, on a scale not seen since the dark ages, in a last ditch effort to retain power.

It didn't start that way. tRump thought he could slide thru this like he has slid thru every responsibility in his life: deny/point fingers/lie/lay low till another distraction.

But this didn't go away, and in fact grew, nay exploded! Wow...what to do now? Let's make it so terribly epically bad that there are absolutely no systems in place to roadblock any attempts to dismantle the remaining social structure.

The end goal of course is money/power. The only institution even remotely capable of preventing a total oligarchy is the federal government. The individual states can always be pitted against each other...see "right-to-work" laws for example. Weaken the federal government enough, and there are no constraints.

2. The policy of course is illogical, not just because of the number of cases and deaths...

that will result, but because many of the deaths will be older voters, many who ususally vote repug.

With trump pushing for their deaths though, that might change the older covid survivors minds.
