paranoid android Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 A few of my Facebook 'friends; have been posting/starting groups about coronavirus being a fabrication/scam, etc, and that the lockdowns are the work of Dystopian totalitarian governments, and that 'the masses can't see it, etc. Now, I'm only too prepared to believe that governments pull the wool over our eyes about all sorts of things all the time, but I reckon that there probably is a serious health risk at the moment. Any coronavirus lockdown skeptics in the house? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) I think I said this on the main thread that while I don’t believe this is a conspiracy, you can bet your bottom dollar there are a few questionable governments and organisations taking notes on lockdown with a view to the future.

I think there's a difference in being skeptical about the lockdown and being skeptical about the virus itself existing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I read an article about how people had known about this virus as long ago as 1963 when a special report landed on the desk of President John F Kennedy. He was just about to take action to have it dealt with but first of all he had to make a trip to Dallas. Sounds totally plausible to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one of the Gordons, D or S, say "douchebag" the other day and was shocked he wasn't immediately emptied. Can we get this patter nipped in the bud just now please? Thank you. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I do believe it's a virus that is being quite well contained. I don't believe it's a virus that has mutated and grown without the help of scientists in a lab though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 The only people I know of personally who have suggested this is a massive conspiracy are also flat earthers and anti vaxxers. So read into that what you will. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I do believe it's a virus that is being quite well contained. I don't believe it's a virus that has mutated and grown without the help of scientists in a lab though. The virus has been disected by independent scientists in numerous countries and found to be natural and untampered with. You're right it has mutated as it has travelled around the world though with there being three main strains. Unfortunately the strain in Europe is more deadly than the ones in North America or Asia. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
