How to hide a pandemic in plain sight: A four step plan
🧵with 🇨🇦 receipts
Step 1) Get rid of masks
Remove all mask mandates (including in health care settings 😬) and 🚮 millions worth of (taxpayer funded) N95s AND lock up more millions worth of respirators in warehouses… with even more millions worth of storage fees 💸💸
“Times of upheaval are always times of radical change. Some believe the pandemic is a once-in-a-generation chance to remake society and build a better future. Others fear it may only make existing injustices worse.”
- Peter C Baker
“But disasters and emergencies do not just throw light on the world as it is. They also rip open the fabric of normality. Through the hole that opens up, we glimpse possibilities of other worlds.”
- Peter C Baker
“The pessimistic view is that a crisis makes bad things worse. People who study disasters – and especially pandemics – know all too well their tendency to inflame xenophobia and racial scapegoating.”
