You're talking about the very 2 months all of this has been unfolding in real time not 2-3 months prep for something coming that was predicted by practically no one. It's only April 1st and and the lockdown almost end of January.
Do you realize the high likelihood that the virus has been here well before January? That could torpedo your theory all together.
And are there posts by savy all knowing CBers back in January saying we should be mandating/ordering 3M to manufacture masks and/or other companies to ramp up sanitizer production or other PPE?
