I suspect you don't know many normal people.

Normal people don't believe zerohedge BS. 

Ive seen a similar post exchanged between a group of mums who work in a school and on a family WhatsApp group. Does seem to be 'going viral' with 'normal people'.

Some people forward it on because they believe it some people forward it on because they cant believe it.

Nephew works in NHS hospital, he says that his hospital has been told not to admit anyone who self presents, only by emergency services or a GP.

Can't be seen by a GP anymore, believe they are doing telephone appointments only - so seems unlikely now that people will be admitted on the basis of a GP referral.

This was predictable too

from guardian front page

"A rise in the number of domestic abuse incidents during the lockdown has already been observed, according to a Greater Manchester police leader.Baroness Beverley Hughes, the deputy mayor for policing and crime, said there had been cases of abuse linked to the coronavirus outbreak and the force were anticipating more serious incidents."

And the off-licences are to be kept open as "essential"...

Likely to be a US/UK Intelligence operation.

Casualty effectively is a no-go zone.

UK Government has admitted now to changing the way it calculations/announces the death figures.

Why Beijing was not hit?  Why only Wuhan?

Why even Wuhan? Why not spread it abroad instead? Why not find the biggest possible mass gatherings (e.g. sports events, music festivals) and target as many as possible at the same time? Then maybe just ignore it, or maybe talk shit about the "American virus."

China's President Xi Jinping...just wore a simple RM1 facemask to visit those effected areas.  As President he should be covered from head to toe.....but it was not the case.  He was already injected to resist any harm from the virus...

Johnson shook hands in hospital and Trump has been in contact with infected people. I don't think that's necessarily evidence they are in on it as well. I think they just want to demonstrate that they aren't over-reacting to try to reassure the public.

I have a feeling that China released this Virus on us.  No proof, but how the ****** did every country get infected so quick??

It's called international air travel. And it guarantees that pandemics are very easy to start - once nature throws up just the right sort of virus.

It's suspicious imo.

Surely you must be a troll, no one could really be so thick as to post this.

On the off chance you are not a troll, did you stop to think how does a normal seasonal flu get around the world so quickly?

The people circulating that original message on WhatsApp, Facebook and Reddit that I posted haven't even heard zerohedge - I never said they had? The "normal" people who I have seen starting to discuss such things as the origin of corona and the bigger picture in terms of whats going on range from nurses and doctors to builders and freelancers so I would count them as a more 'normal' cross section of people than on this doom porn site ?


Oh and for clarification, I personally posted that link to a zerohedge article separately as an aside as it's been in the back of my mind for a while.

:)

"Normal" people are discussing that Nancy Pelosi must have conspired with the Chinese to weaponise a virus to topple Trump ?

I mean look, I've kind of reset on what its possible to tell people to believe after the Brexit debacle ;) but... really ? No alarm bells ringing ?

I did't realise that the Wuhan Province in China was such a hot spot for worldwide tourism.

I'm not saying things can't jump species what I'm saying is specific to how this corona crap has progressed...

China went from denying and silencing people over corona early on to locking down multiple cities larger than London for 6+ weeks VERY early on in this AND had more than enough supplies and measures ready to go. However nearly every other country in the World spent weeks thinking it will be ok / it was just another Asian flu thing. How did China KNOW so early on what the World was dealing with yet the rest of the World was caught cold?

China knew and / or withheld information about what we were all about to deal with in terms of Corona and the WHO were either incompetent or complicit with their refusal to label corona as a pandemic early on. Whether this was because they created corona or knew it was going to circle the World and they had the ultimate 'insider trading' info I don't know but nothing I'm saying seems far fetched to me? The fact that main st seems to be circulating such things is also very interesting to me as if enough people think they have been lied to / set up by our Government etc then mad max is closer than we feared!

I am not sure us plebs will ever know the real story but as ever watch what they do not what they say ?

 

 

Totally agree - Seems typical Communist cover up of a **** up but once they faced the problem I think they did tell the world. We just chose to ignore them

I had never heard of it before but it's as big as London and even now looking at November Skyscanner shows 2 direct flights a day from London, with another 8 one stopping tickets.

Apparently well over 5,000 people a week traveled between London and Wuhan.

I have just been sent the following by someone that is NOT a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist and would welcome any of your thoughts on this.... a lot of it ties with my gut instincts on a lot of what's been going on ?

How to dominate the world quickly?

It's pretty simple, ... build herd stupidity!
