To think this could be the craziest theory yet about Corona virus.

That it is being blown in by Russian warships in the English Channel.

The virus is getting blown in. Shock.......This is according to my neighbour who declared this after seeing news reports of 7 Russian warships in the area. I wouldn’t mind but this man is usually very rational.

Yeah. I heard (a couple of weeks ago) it had arrived on the wind from China. Crazy times, crazy theories.

OwlBasket · 26/03/2020 13:43

The actual, natural wind mind. Not blown over on purpose

Justginnoschweppes · 26/03/2020 13:43

I read one this morning stating that China did it on purpose to crash the European and USA markets

yesterdayhasgone · 26/03/2020 13:53

I knew this man had it in for the Russians, because a few days ago he’d said to my dh how strange it was that Russia had had no deaths. This news report about the warships must have just confirmed it. Grin

I just (right now) invented a conspiracy about Joe Wicks working undercover for the government to get us all ready to join the military.

If you have Netflix, Watch s1 ep10 of my secret terris from 52 mins onwards. It was made in 2018.

Then please come back and share your thoughts...

RickOShay · 26/03/2020 14:10

I’m with you on Joe Wicks Grin

Absentwomen · 26/03/2020 14:15

The Joe Wicks one is hilarious.

The Chinese leaking the virus from the Wuhan Institute to bring down the western economy has been one of the earlier ones due to the trade war between US and China. Trump upset relations badly there.

I also read that the Americans planted the virus during the Military Games held in China in October 2019.

Just google Madonna's 2019 song at Eurovision last year, Says it all.

"Not everyone belongs to the future".

KedsAndTubeSocks · 26/03/2020 14:22

Isn't there a theory about China & 5G? Can't remember the details, sorry.

MitziK · 26/03/2020 14:22

I rather 'like' the 'It leaked from a US lab, hence all the vaping deaths in the papers, then there were military exercises/diplomatic visits in Wuhan immediately before this all started - which is why Trump is insistent on calling it the Chinese Virus, to detract away from the US fuckup', especially as the US were responsible for Spanish flu as well.

Tootletum · 26/03/2020 14:24

Why give airtime to the BS

SpillTheTeaa · 26/03/2020 14:29

I rule nothing out! They're not even sure where it came from themselves so anything is possible! Grin

Pukkatea · 26/03/2020 14:30

Clearly this was the work of Disney to keep us all inside right as Disney+ came out in Europe.

WaterIsWide · 26/03/2020 14:42

It's so they can replace the batteries in all the birds outside.

I read this on MN yesterday and thought, yeah that will do me !

DappledThings · 26/03/2020 14:45

adiposegirl2 I have no idea why people think this clip is so interesting. Coronaviruses are not new. Even within that clip they reference MERS so we know we have coronavirus pandemics before and the current one isn't much of a surprise.

That someone a few years ago decided that a weaponised version would make good drama isn't surprising either.

But I've seen people claiming this is the New World Order hiding in plain sight Grin

BigChocFrenzy · 26/03/2020 14:48

Everyone knows - it was Icke's lizard people !

DappledThings · 26/03/2020 14:48

Isn't there a theory about China & 5G

Yep, loads of bonkers shit about that. It isn't a real virus, it's the effects of 5G and it can be turned on and off because the 5G activates the smart dust in us that we've all been inhaling from chem trails. All done to trick us all into getting a vaccine which isn't really a vaccine but is actually a new mind control drug.

Oh yes. This shit lives and breathes online and people lap it up.

alloutoffucks · 26/03/2020 15:14

Yes I saw someone argue that this is so the worldwide secret government can take over. Tom Hanks is in on it too as he was about to get arrested supposedly for paedophilia, so is supporting the secret government to escape charges.

alloutoffucks · 26/03/2020 15:17

Alternatively it is to implant us all with chips via the vaccine that we will all be given.

insertcaffeine · 26/03/2020 15:34

My favourite barmy conspiracy theory is that they've locked us down to change the batteries in the pigeons.

Have you ever seen a baby pigeon? This is why.

This is just brilliant!

Shouldn't they have hired someone less fundamentally annoying? Isn't he just risking creating a population of extremely fit people who are able to chase him long distances with pitchforks? Grin

ACertainSupermarket · 26/03/2020 15:54

Netflix, Watch s1 ep10 of my secret terrius

That really doesn't foretell what is happening! That storyline is about a genetically engineered coronavirus being used as a weapon. What is happening right now is that a coronavirus, of which there are many versions in nature, has 'jumped' from the animal species to humans. It happens, as in swine flu and bird flu. If you want a more accurate foretelling (of how these outbreaks happen), watch Contagion.

LaneBoy · 26/03/2020 16:09

I also wondered if it was all designed to get us signing up for Disney+ 😅

I’ve not seen other theories though other than one person sharing bullshit about 5G. Someone actually commented “are you ok?” and I don’t blame her - some level of extreme denial going on with this person who I previously thought was at least vaguely sensible
