If we start off at the point of understanding money backed by nothing is worth nothing, then move on to politicians that believe their own lies. Then the picture is easier to read.
The script too.
A alleged virus that knows the time hence curfews in France, New Zealand, Australia and other countries.
A alleged virus that does not enter large supermarkets, but small shops it does.
A virus so deadly people put a bit of cloth on their mouth to protect them.

Maybe we need to simplify the logic.
