1/ Hypothetically, let's say that there was true evil high up in the Trump admin. Not just greed, but Hitler 2.0 type of evil. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/dec/04/stephen-miller-trump-administration-white-nationalism
2/ Now let's pretend that this administration was provided a briefing exposing several specific issues the US would face handling a flu-like pandemic. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/16/trump-inauguration-warning-scenario-pandemic-132797
3/ And what if you were repeatedly told that this sort of pandemic was just a matter of time, a matter of when not if. https://www.businessinsider.com/pandemic-virus-simulation-johns-hopkins-shows-vulnerability-2018-7
4/ Ok. So this train is coming and you see an opportunity. A way to reshape the Western world, disproportionately hurt minorities, get away with it, and best of all accomplish it easily.
5/ First, you eliminate the department and position designed to address these sorts of issues early. You need this to be widespread. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2018/05/10/top-white-house-official-in-charge-of-pandemic-response-exits-abruptly/
6/ Then you focus on locking up undesirables. The prison population is already full of American minorities, so you begin targeting migrants too. http://crimmigration.com/2019/07/02/in-2018-ice-detention-population-reached-another-all-time-daily-high/
7/ So we've locked up minorities. Detention centers are ticking time bombs when it comes to infectious diseases, but best to deny them flu shots and other basic protections as well to maximize risk to this population. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/20/the-us-wont-vaccinate-migrant-children-against-the-flu-at-border-camps.html
8/ When things start to spread, extra steps can be taken to further increase exposure to this part of the population. Don't worry, the media will blame incompetence. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/hamedaleaziz/wisconsin-sheriff-ice-detainees-coronavirus
9/ I'm not saying that anyone is purposely locking up minorities and offering them below standard care so that this part of the population is ravaged.
But if they were, what would be different?

10/ Just over a month since I wrote this thread. A new study shows many lives could be saved if we take strict action in detention centers.
I'm sickened so many people seem fine keeping humans in such conditions for no benefit. https://twitter.com/DavidColeACLU/status/1252973940261208067?s=19
