I think its best if every country's military starts getting deployed in every area in their region and systematically check every person if infected with the virus.

✔ Government control of food supplies
✔ Government control of both local and long-distance travel
✔ Arbitrary lockdowns
✔ Direct government control of each individuals body, under the rubric of e.g. healthcare
✔ Arbitrary, peremptory government orders of any kind whatsoever
Total government control of communications^*

(* In my nightmare, this has not yet started; thus, I would still be able to post this message. The worst part of my nightmare is when I discover that dissent is so marginal amidst the mass-panic, the government finds it unnecessary to control communications.)

All of these actions are praised by the sheep, due to mass panic. Dissidents will be immediately labelled conspiracy theorists and/or accused of wanting for people to die.

What a nightmare! I am glad that I dont live in that world.

Dude. You leave me speechless. [...]

Trollpost threshold exceeded. bye.

Ja, there was nothing trollish about drawing an analogy between the coronavirus and Hitler, accusing Tyroleans of infecting half of Europe, and giving standard-issue due to our history rhetoric about how that comparison with Hitler is hard to understand for people that have no german or austrian background. Didnt leave me speechless at all!

Never mind, i should have made better use of my brain before making that comparison.

That is true.
