What is really behind this COVID move?

[Schmoe1]

From the start, something about this virus stunk.  Maybe not the virus itself, but the reaction to it.  

My conspiratorial side thought maybe it's a test run from the government to see what they can get away with, how long will people allow themselves to be be ordered inside, stuff like that.

But then I think, wouldn't that be giving the incompetent bastards a lot of credit to pull off something like that?
