If they cared about people, they would be instructing people to take hydroxychloroquine, quercetin, and/or green tea along with zinc and vitamin D. This combination is known to reduce the severity of other coronaviruses (such as those that cause regular colds), and quercetin is a nutrient that just happens to protect you from this virus without bad side effects.
If everyone took these supplements in sufficient doses, there would be no need for all this nonsense. No "social(??)" distancing, no masks, no closing down things, no mandatory vaccinations, no nothing. You get the virus while taking these supplements, you barely get sick if at all, you become immune to the whole thing, and that's the end of that. Once that happens, you cannot spread the virus (aside from touching something with virus on it, and then touching something else that then has the virus on it). Obviously, if everyone took these supplements, no one would ever get sick from touching these surfaces, the virus would lose effectiveness, and SARS-CoV 2 would become critically endangered and go extinct.
Or, they can use it as an excuse to enforce these measures. The washtowel is based on fear, and "giving Caeser's things to Caeser". This, of course, is going to mean mandatory vaccines regardless of the suffering they cause. Satan will be blamed, of course--and the "solution" will be that abomination of a god they have supposedly destroying the culprits. Instead, that thing will have those culprits ruling the whole earth, enslaving everyone under the worst possible conditions. Lifespans will be drastically reduced, that "70-80 year limit in that stupid bible will be enforced, and science will be totally dead.
I think I would rather not listen to the washtowel. Yes, while the virus was new and we didn't know how it would act, it was prudent to be careful and stay apart until more was known. (And that was when they were spreading it door to door in field circus.) Once more is known, it is good to act on that knowledge--once I found quercetin worked (even better than hydroxychloroquine, for those who are trying to get this drug banned), I quickly ordered a long course of quercetin so I could be protected (I already take zinc and vitamin D). And now that I know how to tame this virus, they want everyone to wear those stupid masks, stay 2 meters apart, and ultimately take that torture shot.
