When the final phase of the Covid World Revolution comes, you will soon notice that STARVATION will kill more people than covid-19 itself.
Like how, you say?
By Speculation, of course!
And if you do not know what the speculation of food means, it is a violation of physics and true reality-warping magic, as I call it.
If you don't know what this is, they will basically just buy away lots of food, lock them up to rot or export them and put them away from the mouths of people.
How will they do it right now? It's simple.
To put bluntly, they will simply force the population of ANY nation to stay inside their houses via military and armed police, and if you have to get out, you have to phone your local governor or sheriff manually to even go to the supermarket to buy any food for an hour.
And you bet that if you live in a state where your ideology is against the governor's or the governor just likes to see you starve or suffer, they will simply not let you to.
If the government itself lacks any sort of quick reaction centers, they will make sure you cannot buy food for a day, or two or even a week.
This is all deliberate, not a "communication flaw." They will use this to justify themselves once they are tried, but do not ever listen to them. They kill 4 billion on purpose.
(All the while the Internet is real-ID based so you can't complain. Haha)
Oh and you think people will riot or resist? No, they will NOT.
Americans or even most of the modern 21st century Gen Z had not saw anything like this. They will be shocked, clueless and desperate. Once this happens, expect zero opposition and complete compliance as whole swathes of the worldwide population starve to death. America, Japan, China, South Korea, England, Germany, Singapore...you will see everyone STARVE to death.
As for Guns, no need to think about it. Russia was an Armed State before the Bolsheviks destroyed it. The same goes for Libya and Afghanistan. They were all armed, and the guns were there to protect you against individual bandits. They are not helping against full blown social collapse because starvation is way more effective than bullets.
Also remember most of America no longer grows food for itself, it is only importing food from China. It alongside Japan, South Korea, UK etc are all food exporting nations with no self-sufficiency whatsoever. And the impacts to commerce caused by a decade long-pandemic where government had absolute power over the masses will be large enough that most food will not be within reach. You can expect enough food for a month and even then you had to buy them to get it. And if your work pre-2020 was a restaurant or a travel agency....you starve.
(Even if you are able of farming, the government will not even let you most of the time. Forget about outdoor gardens. And if you have an indoor garden, put them in the basement.)
So, when the decade long lockdowns come, Covid-19 will not be the killer, but mass starvation is -- as in all cases of war and genocide.
(And this only deals with the STARVATION aspect, there are other aspects that kill and I will not be detailing it here.)
You're forgetting that most people in those rural areas rely on wells and springs for water rather than government sources. The shutting off of electricity is the biggest threat in my opinion. Which is why I have solar.
