Political Pitch Meeting Proposal:
Producer: So, I hear you have a new control device for me.
Writer: Yes, sir, I do. It's a virus called Covid.
P: Ooo, sounds interesting. Is it like a plague?
W: It's more like the flu.
P: But really bad, right? Like your organs melt and it's almost 100% deadly if you catch it?
W: It's more like the flu.
P: Oh. So why are people going to be scared of it?
W: Well, we're going to tell them to be.
P: And they're just going to go with it?
W: They won't have a choice. We're going to lock everything down for two weeks and keep everyone at home. Ya know, to really show how deadly this virus can be.
P: Two weeks doesn't seem like very long.
W: That's because two weeks really means indefinitely.
P: Huh. I like the sound of that.
W: We're also going to scare everyone into wearing these stupid face masks all the time to prevent the spread of this virus.
P: Do these masks actually do anything?
W: Nothing at all.
P: Won't it be hard to get the entire population on board with wearing masks to prevent the spread of a virus?
W: Actually, it's going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
