Imagine if the country was actually united about wearing masks, then a group of foreigners came in, refusing to wear masks, shouting at people about it, and trying to recruit others to go around in crowds not wearing masks. Generally, seeking the virus and trying to spread it.

But instead, the right wing decided to become the bioterrorists themselves.
