The plan was, use COVID-19 as an excuse to shower the rich with tons of extra cash (NEVER let a crisis go to waste, said the Lord - Beckchivious 9:12) and do nothing else. Once the "flu" to disappears, as it is bound to do, pat yourself on the back and demand that you be worshipped for a job well done. That was a brilliant plan. Unfortunately for him, the "flu" did not play ball. It did not disappear on cue. Instead, it turned into a monster. Now the plan is to blame China, blame Dr Fauci and get the country working again in order to try to get reelected.
