One my friends thought about this so here's some food for thought.

Ever notice how Covid-19 sprung up at the height of the Hong Kong protests? Ever notice how whenever large conflict happens a pandemic follows? Personally I think the US government is trying to disguise their lack of effort on the matter as incompetence, just so the virus can kill the elderly who aren't susceptible to their attempts at using music as a means to influence society to be what they want it to be.
