I’m gonna follow this just so I can have a good laughHi, so we have a coronavirus thread (many of them) and a conspiracy theory thread BUT does any have / believe any conspiracy theories about COVID?
What does everyone think / believe?
We’rent those old pictures of the army’s though and different countries because a lot of people found the original photos on social media which were from years ago and some were on the wrong side of the road for the uk ( think it was pics from Germany being used )BTW I heard on the grapevine that the government didn’t think that the public would respect a lockdown in the U.K. and were prepared to send the army in to enforce it if needs be. However, with a few exceptions most people did as they were told. When lockdown was first announced lots of photos of army convoys appears on social media, so I think there is some truth in that.
The ones I saw were definitely taken in the U.K. because you could see the road signs.I might have a look and see if they are still there actually.We’rent those old pictures of the army’s though and different countries because a lot of people found the original photos on social media which were from years ago and some were on the wrong side of the road for the uk ( think it was pics from Germany being used )
Those pictures weren’t real though so I don’t think they are backing up any claims.BTW I heard on the grapevine that the government didn’t think that the public would respect a lockdown in the U.K. and were prepared to send the army in to enforce it if needs be.

I think she's laughing at some of the conspiracies not a second wave.Whats so funny about a second wave happening @Northeast1988 ?
I don't think it is just the fact that it kills people. People who survive are dealing with awful symptoms 4+ months after, lung problems, heart problems, and neurological. They are seeing young people having strokes, etc.What do people think about the media reporting of it? Like is that what scares people so much? The seasonal flu kills thousands and thousands of people every year but those figures are not reporter in a daily basis and with 24/7 media coverage.
I think the media coverage has had a huge impact. I’m not downplaying the seriousness of the virus, but the media coverage has scared people and is continuing to do so. I knew a lot of people who were struggling during lockdown and once they stopped watching the news/media coverage (or watched it once a day) they felt so much better.What do people think about the media reporting of it?

I do find myself less scared the less I consume the media. I also don't look at the numbers as often as I did before.I think the media coverage has had a huge impact.
