The idea this virus is a conspiracy by the globalists fails for one very simple reason: Housing Density.

Here in the Bay Area I've fought my biggest battles with the goons who want us all packed in tight like sardines where you step over feces from the bums called homeless on your way to and from filthy public transportation to and from your high tech cubicle or desk at city planning.

They want to eliminate autos and pack us in tight so you heat the bottom floor, the heat rises and the energy heats a whole building... People like me living on a 1/4 acre with an older, leaky 4b/2b home are "selfish" for consuming so many resources, especially if we use water that could shower another sardine in a high density project to keep our lawns green.

The best way to knock down how fast a virus spreads is to live on 10 acres of land in Montana where social distancing is a way of life, you shoot game to eat (oh my goodness, the hated gun!) and you drive pickups or SUVs with AWD to get you through the snow and mud without relying heavily on government.

I was half rooting for another earthquake to scare people out of our overbuilt area... now the mid sized tech companies are talking layoffs... people will see how hard it is to pay $3,000 to $4,000 a month rent for an apartment in a zombie city and perhaps decide there is a better life elsewhere... where they dont' put their lives at risk on filthy public transportation or in autonomous Uber rides where the person in the car before you might have sneezed Covid-2021 all over the seats...

Right now the homeless are being offered empty hotel rooms... you might think twice about booking a hotel in the Bay Area for the next few years... let the bed bugs and lice get removed first.

The #22 is the bus that runs closest to me:

Scabies found in four Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority bus drivers

The BS they feed us is insulting:
(Well, it is a Palo Alto paper... pretty much ground zero for it.)
Four Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority drivers have been confirmed to have scabies, a skin rash caused by a tiny burrowing parasite.

This skin irritation is unlikely to be transmitted by merely sitting on a bus or being near a person with it," VTA officials said in a statement.

Then

"The agency doesn't yet know the origin of the scabies."
My guess is you lose your job if you blame anything on "the homeless" who use the buses and the bus shelters as their campgrounds, especially in March and April to get out of the rains.
