    I have no doubt it is no hoax.

    But I do have suspicions that this is also some kind of social experiment, possibly with an end to some means that may not be good for the general population in some way.

    Gattaca comes to mind.

    I dunno. The billionaires seem awfully anxious for us to go back to work.

    But if the virus is so bad and deadly, why arent these walk up/drive up testing sites at max capacity and why arent hospitals teeming with corona patients???

    Genetic identification with the anti-body prick for example.

    It is simple, fast and sort of painless, and even the gun toting people will want to know if they have the anti-body.
    Everyone will be standing in line to get the test, and with the test comes your information.

    It really is a great way of enticing people to line up for cataloging.

    Sure they are, they rely on the money coming in after all.

    And isn't the anti-body test a key to getting people back to work?

    On the east coast, theyve been doing all kinds of crap. Reefer trailers for morgues, field hospitals in parks, etc. They all sit empty. They just shut a drive up testing site in philadelphia because it wasnt being used and was a huge waste of resources so the feds put their staff and supplies to use elsewhere.

    Those sites ARE at capacity near me in Chicago, and hospitals ARE teeming with Corona patients in New York. Thankfully Chicago got on the ball early, so we are not doing as poorly as they are. Not great, but not THAT bad.

    And the best part of all? Most people are just being told to stay home, because they have a better chance at home than at a hospital a lot of the time, because the hospitals are so full of patients.

    Sooooo...either you believe someone who is married to someone in the medical field, or you keep listening to Alex Jones, I guess.

    Do you have some credible source, link, you could share??? This is not the story I've been hearing. Usually the sites run out of kits.
