I’ll have to look up the location but it was Pennsylvania: The local goshawks were deemed a nuisance because of their proficiency at eating the farmers’ chickens and a bounty offered for them. Inside of a year the local trees for many miles around began to brown and die.

Would-be bounty hunters were shooting anything that resembled a hawk and the immediate result was an explosion in the mice population. As the mice exhausted the food supply, the newly overabundant and starving mice began eating tree bark, killing the trees.

Back to Covid policies, it’s my opinion that social unrest and distrust between citizens is the INTENDED consequence. From there, new crises will be declared, requiring, obviously, more governmental mandate.
