The Covid Conundrum

Shortly after the Covid-19 virus became part of our lexicon, it appeared as if the news media was trying to create a worldwide panic around the virus. If this had been Ebola, or typhoid or the bubonic plague, they wouldn't need to try to scare us; everyone would know that it was serious. Why was the news media trying to incite a panic? Most people just chalk it up to a highly-partisan and irresponsible new media and they are probably correct. But, what if it wasn't. What if there was something sinister, more malevolent in play? There are many conspiracy theories out there and once you start down one of these rabbit holes, it may be difficult to discern fact from fiction.
This is a fictitious story that attempts to explain the Covid tale. A modern day "Game of Thrones", if you will, replete with treachery, deceit, espionage, betrayal and murder. It is not a story of what did happen or what will happen; it's a story of what might happen. So, fasten your tin-foil hats on and head down this rabbit hole.
