Wow.

I knew she was a nutcase, potentially even a dangerous nutcase.

I didn't care for her much in season one, and her smarmy sneering delivery
lead me to believe she had nothing but contempt for everyone in the town
but only thinly disguised.

But, Takano Miyo is the worst kind of nutcase:

Spoiler:

A dangerous, psychotic nutcase with a charismatic appeal that makes seemingly
normal people follow her.

Amoral, willing to kill at the drop of a hat, willing to do anything to further her ends.

She seemed delighted with glee, though, when her scheme will be so big that
"Tokyo can't cover it up". It's almost like she wants a really big catastrophe so
that the world finds out? What the hell is she getting from this?

She's someone who's managed to get into a position of control in the military,
this is really bad and the chapter "a Strong Will" shows that not only her own
strong will is at work but those in the government. This goes straight to the
top. And she's using her influence to control the outcome of events to suit her
ends.

My guess: the government was hoping that this disease could be harnessed
as a weapon. When they realized they couldn't control it they decided to have
the town obliterated because if that organism got out of that town and to the world,
well, they'd have a hell of a lot more to worry about than a watanagashi event.

Brrrrr. Scary.

After reading what I said in my spoiler, what if all the governments indulging in
germ warfare have something like this in their secret labs? Gives me the creeps.
