A Georgia school district that reopened in-person classes last week is quarantining more than 900 students and staff members due to possible exposure to the coronavirus.
More than 2,000 students, teachers and staff members across five states have been quarantined after at least 230 positive coronavirus cases were reported.

scared,
We have disagreed on a few things in the past.
On this however, I Must agree with almost all the points you have made.
It is true, we are being tested, for what is not quite as clear..... YET.
We all have our own thoughts though.

Perhaps the test is to see which of us could survive the confinement of an extended space flight to a “New Earth” when our current planet becomes uninhabitable?
We are seeing just who can adapt to the rigors of the “New Normal”, and who are, and would be, driven mad by the conditions of extended confinement.

The elites have us begging for all forms of control.
We beg for our 9 to 5 low wage jobs to come back. Another means of control.
We beg for our great fiat economic system to come back. Another means of control.
We are begging for medicines produced by big pharma. Another means of control.
We beg them to let the police do as they please. Another means of control.
Covid caused us to lose and thus be free of many of the elites systems of control.
Why are we begging to have them back?
Was the plan by the elites to fake the loss of that control just to test how deeply we are addicted to it?
Nope. that is just a private business owner deciding the rules of his business.
Like a no shirt no shoes no service policy.
Now they can add no mask no vaccine no service.
And I defend their right to do that.
“They” told us how to defeat them right from the outset, how to break their control over us by blunting their weapon.

Was wondering what you think about that supposed 'elite' ? Who are they ? Are they a part of, descended from, or otherwise linked to to corporate oligarchy, and 'business' ?
Are the majority of "9 to 5 low wage jobs" : not supplied by 'business', and the salaries are not : "just a private business owner deciding the rules of his business" ?
Are the founders, and champions of "our great fiat economic system" : not 'businessmen', and so another example of "just a private business owner deciding the rules of his business" ?
Are private doctors, whom manage their careers like a 'business', the usurped medical associations, and 'big-pharma' : "just a private business owner deciding the rules of his business" ?
If you're worried about the police : have you thought about who, or what will replace the police ? Private 'business' ?
Who then : is exercising this 'control' ? Is not 'business' already in a very powerful position of 'control', over our western lives ? Do you want to give them more 'control' , by just letting them set their own rules ?

a reply to: Nothin
I believe they are human like anyone else and could be connected with all kinds of buisnesses and government.
If the pay isn't decided by the owner then no.
I don't like it. But I will always defend the rights of private property.
I wonder what the majority of the business owners really think of that fiat system?
Yes
Who knows? My guess it's the governments.
less regulation , less interference would give the private citizens more control over what they own.
What that would mean for society? Would it cause the business owners to have more control over the rest of us? Well we would have to try it out to find those answers.
The participants are between 120 and 150 people, including political leaders, experts from industry, finance, academia and the media.[5] About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; one third from politics and government and the rest from other fields.[5][2] Historically, attendee lists have been weighted toward bankers, politicians, directors of large businesses[11] and board members from large publicly traded corporations, including IBM, Xerox, Royal Dutch Shell, Nokia and Daimler.[12] Heads of state, including former King Juan Carlos I of Spain and former QueenBeatrix of the Netherlands, have attended meetings.[12][13] A source connected to the group told The Daily Telegraph in 2013 that other individuals, whose names are not publicly issued, sometimes turn up "just for the day" at the group's meetings.[14] Various popular conspiracy theories describe the Bilderbergers as the most powerful group of men in the history of the planet.[

In 2001, Denis Healey, a Bilderberg group founder and a steering committee member for 30 years, said, "To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair. Those of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn't go on forever fighting one another for nothing and killing people and rendering millions homeless. So we felt that a single community throughout the world would be a good thing."[15]
More specifically : who are these 'elite' you speak of ?
you give them full rights in charging whatever they want, while still lamenting the control it has over folks ?
Have you not seen any of the documentaries
