We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza
A lieutenant of the Evil Overlord takes issue with one of his master's policies or whatnot. The Evil Overlord responds either by executing the lieutenant on the spot (being dropped in the Shark Pool is a favorite method) or having him dragged off to some horrible fate. The Evil Overlord then asks the lieutenant's immediate subordinate about his thoughts on the matter. The subordinate wisely falls in line.
