I heard a weird "theory" as to why

Social distancing is being undermined by the likes of trump
Because surveillance systems can't recognize us with masks on.
They have trouble seeing us clearly ,in a crowd with masks on so we are told to stay 6 feet apart so surveillance can see our movements.

Crazy shit huh?

I think it's because rich privileged pigs want the gravy train to run right into thier greedy pockets,and they are scared with all the time to think,that we may decide we don't wanna play business as usual anymore.

They are wearing the sinister kind where you can't recognize them. I think many are convicted felons.

I think they are using this as form of denial. If we wear masks, it looks Covid 19 isn't under control. If it isn't under control, it hurts Trump's campaign

I, and several people I know will be wearing mask for the foreseeable future.

Social distancing will be the norm as well.

They better get used to it.

were. That's really the priority. Loot as much as possible as quickly as possible. Even if they take a big hit on paper, they can end up snapping up a bunch of property. Everything shakes out and they have even more wealth and power.

With a mask on, and my special hat, they can't hear my thoughts anymore. I'm feeling so much better now.

6. I think it has more to do with who is hardest hit.

Black people more than white people
Poor people more than rich people
City people more than rural people
Blue staters more than red staters

Really it's the aids playbook all over again. Make like the victims are "other" and dismiss the whole thing.
