I have thought about it.

I’m not saying you are wrong. It just makes zero sense to me. These people have to have sophisticated security in place. At some point, they would have to communicate to each other “here is what an announcement of “I have Covid” means.”

If their phones are tapped, the people tapping the phones must know what “I have Covid” means.

If they can all go underground for two weeks, and fly to Blofeld’s mountain hideaway and plot next steps, I guess it makes sense if they need to be out of the public eye for a while. I just don’t think anyone in the general public is looking for them.
