It's easy to dig into conspiracy theories and say idiotic stuff like "Plandemic" and "Scam", especially when you are watching your own small business go into bankruptcy because of something that feels like it is out of your control.
Of course people want to take out their frustrations and claim that the government is orchestrating the whole thing just to crush them.
But this is not what is actually going on.
What is actually going on is that an "arriving pretty much on schedule" pandemic has happened. The governments were not prepared for this, because we, as humans, just ignore things until it becomes a bother for us and then it's too late sometimes.
And we are even playing this level on "Easy" mode where the virus doesn't kill friggin' everyone within a month.
So, yes, I feel sorry for the frustrated people who are losing their livelihoods and are blaming the government for having planned this whole thing out in some insane world where governments actually are able to do that without a single moral-minded whistle-blower coming out, but rioting is not the answer and just increases the spread of the virus.
I have no answer for the people who have lost their entire financial savings over this, however. The government is not prepared to fund everyone. We are going to have to go through a period of financial blues.
But please, to these people, please don't go out and take out your frustrations on others.
Britain survived daily bombings during WW2 by banding together and just helping each other out.
A virus is not as obvious or visible threat as a Nazi bomb or soldier, but the same spirit should be happening.
