I have lived where I am for 20 years and out my balcony doors I have watched an unchanging vista except for 2 times: 9-11 and the lockdown a year ago. 9-11 saw a lack of air traffic for several days and the lockdown saw a huge reduction in autos moving on the streets. But now? Car drivers and pedestrians with masks on in fresh air. I sense the fear and frustration and realize that the control freaks are enjoying their power to elevate that fear at will with the medias complicit help. What has been wrought here will take a decade to correct and I doubt the Karens will ever regret what they did to their victims...
So, yes there is a matrix of sorts, created by the complacency of people.
