On the Fact that In 2007, the CDC Came Out with a Pandemic Severity Index that Rated Outbreaks from 1 to 5, with 1 Being On Par with the Seasonal Flu and 5 Being Akin to the Spanish Flu of 1918 and Even with Level-5 Intensity Pandemics (Which at Today's Population Levels Would Kill Approximately 2,000,000 Americans) at No Point Did They Recommend Locking-Down the Economy, Destroying Civil-Liberties, Making People Wear Masks, etc., etc. - https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2007/02/hhs-ties-pandemic-mitigation-advice-severity

 So what's going on here? Does the establishment want Trump out of office so desperately that they're willing to destroy both the economy AND the Constitution? Or is it more of a generic power-grab (as described perfectly by Robert Higgs in his seminal book, "Crisis and Leviathan" and by H.L. Mencken in numerous publications) prompted by some light-bulb moment (never wanting a "good crisis" to "go to waste")? I simply don't get it (though, yeah, the truth will likely come out soon).
