Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories

A thread to be crazy in...

I think the US Gov (specifically Trump) purposefully doesn’t want test kits available, because that would increase the number of cases and therefore hurt the stock market and economy.

Damn, I actually think this is true, OP. Isn't it weird that numbers in almost all western countries explode but not in the US? So many Chinese returning/returned to the US after Chinese New Year, but only 35 cases? If you simply don't test anyone, you just don't know for sure and cases remain low.

While I don't believe it, my fear center of my brain gets occasionally fixated on the conspiracy theory that this is escaped bioweapon that shows itself in increasingly severe waves, after weeks/months of supposed recovery. So you have earlier spread that the government is keeping secret, which people recovered from easily thinking it was the 'bad flu this year', but now are just starting to collapse and die not of exhaustion, but the second terrible wave that hits you closer to the core organs. As such, there's no way out other than the elite to keep us pacified while they bug out and retreat in their own waves.

Its real doom porn. Its more likely that this is a bad strain coming out of unsanitary conditions that we don't know enough about yet but when we do, it won't be that much more severe than swine flu etc. This is still a reasonable assumption. But the measures taken to deal with this so far, alone, should be enough license for anyone choosing to be aware --- to be alarmed.

I do think that the Trump admin is taking the most see/hear no evil approach, intentionally, because they think they have the most weight to get away with it. This is barely theory to me. Tests? Oh shucks, they don't work, wait for the next ones. Info? Has to go through creationist Pence. Containment? Well, prioritize the economic impact first, then see. The message is that states are on their own and have to be on their A-game.

The supposed first proof that there's a coverup will be media (mainstream of amateur) coverage of ERs being utterly swamped and completely overwhelmed to point of mental breakdowns. This was seemingly a big part of revealing the China situation, and USA is probably going to be worse at covering up this content. Even one hospital in this state will start to shatter any 'this is fine' narratives because while many places are used to full or even overflowing ERs that have to prioritize patients, we're not used to nurses breaking down in fear and confusion, doctors rushing to patients like they're a first responder themselves, or patients appearing in a riotous state looking for any relief. That's disaster-level behavior and we need a proven disaster around them to justify it.

It's like the zombie virus. We all have it and only now it's being triggered.

by Anonymousreply 3March 1, 2020 5:34 PM

I put nothing past corrupt governments and shadow groups. There are so many variations on how this virus started, from bats to rats to snakes to koalas. If the origins are accurate and it wasn't created in a lab, there's a lesson for the Chinese: chickens are cheap and they multiply like rabbits, no need to eat a live bat or an endangered species for dinner.

^What? Poor chickens. Do you know how Chinese treat animals?

China covered it up for A MONTH.

As much as you would like to find some thing to blame on Trump - he's only reacting to what information he is given and when he is given it. And China purposefully covered it up.

Trump also was the first to suspend all flights incoming from China to the US.

Trump was right when he ran on one of the the basis of bringing back jobs to America - encouraging companies to manufacture here instead of outsourcing everything. The should have listened.

That’s bullshit. Even I knew about this virus 2 months ago and I’m not the government.

They clearly didn’t want to test anybody. No tests, no results.

My guess is that they did it on purpose. It fits their MO. Everything is a lie and a stunt with these people. So why wouldn’t this pandemic be also?

[quote] As much as you would like to find some thing to blame on Trump - he's only reacting to what information he is given and when he is given it. And China purposefully covered it up.

Actually his reaction to the information he was given was to deny and ignore it and tell the American people the virus was no worse than a cold.

As opposed to whom?

In what way has he done this? And who is this "they" who should have listened?

Stop reading the Post and take your head out of your ass, MAGAt.

R6 And Trump also had weeks now to make sure we had a reliable testing kit for this virus and he failed BIG TIME. Numbers will explode once doctors can actually test people for the virus. He is still downplaying the situation to protect his string economy. He is a fucking failure.

I'm not an anti-vaxer, but I'm curious to see if the first US cases of 'unknown origin transmission', or any of the fatalities had gotten the flu shots. I can't get them if I wanted to because of a drug allergy but its enough to make me wonder, especially as they're being promoted throughout this (which makes sense, its flu season).

I don't think that answers will be forthcoming soon.

Trump will declare a state of emergency and cancel the 2020 presidential election.

Every coronavirus thread has already been filled with lunacy, but it's nice to have a thread that at least acknowledges it.

by Anonymousreply 17March 12, 2020 9:30 PM

I agree, OP. With Trump it's alll about optics and numbers. Too many diagnosed cases would make him look bad.

Some of the test kit components are manufactured in Germany. Was he even aware of that? I wonder if the latest European travel ban will impact products as well as people. If so, then it's a real problem.

The virus put an end to those Chinese protests pretty fast didn't it?

Man made population control

by Anonymousreply 21March 16, 2020 5:27 PM

This isn't exactly a conspiracy theory (considering medical experts from other, more infected countries are conforming this) but the virus is actually a lot more contagious and a LOT more lethal than the US government is letting on. It's also evolving rapidly and combining with strains of the flu and the common cold, another fact the US government is suppressing. The group that should start being worried right now is teens and adults ages 20-40. They're going to be the most at risk soon.

by Anonymousreply 22March 16, 2020 5:40 PM

I don't know that the virus is man-made or that its development thus far is anything other than the current band of international clowns fucking things up as fast as they can - but what worries me is that some bag of slime - Steve Bannon would be a major suspect - would try to get Trump to take advantage of this, fan the flames of fascist Nationalism and mount a populist uprising that would kill liberals, minorities, and anyone else the Trump Trash can get their flippers on. While this scenario is unlikely to result in some American form of the Third Reich, as the people involved, in addition to being evil, are intensely stupid, it would mean potentially civil unrest seen on a scale unknown for the last 150 years in this country. And unfortunately, the moment Trump's corpse starts swinging from the lamppost is when shit starts to get worse and not better as all the Q-cunts will take it as proof that they were right all along.

The virus was transferred to humans from a few smart animal species. They are tired of humans screwing up the planet. Less humans better place to live. The goal is to cut human population down by 50% starting with all Boomers.

Global warming gone,

Habitat for all other species is improved drastically.

Germ warfare from China. Getting rid of their undesirables, and damaging foreign countries. Look how fast they recovered.

The reason why there are no test kits is that Orange Turd met with the CEOs of those major companies last week in order to find a way to monetize this outbreak to their benefit. That's what Jared is really up to.

That appears to be the truth, [R27].

by Anonymousreply 28March 16, 2020 7:06 PM

R25 is on to something. There's already been reported hacking of HHS over the weekend, most likely from a foreign source. Unfortuantely people like R23 are so mired in identity politics, they would actively try to suppress this information or try to blame it on Russia.

by Anonymousreply 29March 16, 2020 7:29 PM

And, I am right! Andrea Junker @Strandjunker ·Mar 15 1. Trump denied the available WHO coronavirus test kit. 2. The 12-week delay cost American lives. 3. After this delay, Oscar Health launches its testing center locator. 4. Oscar Health is a Kushner company.

From what I’m hearing this whole thing has become just another opportunity for Republicans to plunder the country. Average people are not getting their measly $1200 while Corp farms and big businesses are getting millions.
