Wwyd if you received a video saying that the virus was caused by 5g?

Just that. If a friend sent you a video saying that CV was caused by 5g and that vaccines won’t work.

I’d think they were a knobhead

I would question our friendship.

I’m furious

I'd wonder why she'd temporarily gone stupid.

I’d assume they were joking unless it’s someone know for being a bit of a twat.

I’d delete it and tell your friend to stop sending crap!

They’re not joking.

I'd delete it without watching it in case it's carrying a virus. Then depending on the friend, eg if they were naive about computer security I'd remind them about scams and viruses. If they were someone I thought knew better, I'd send a sarcastic reply.

I'd just quietly unfollow them. There are all sorts of strange theories out there. People don't necessarily think straight in a crisis. No sense in ending a friendship.

Someone I hired for a job once sent me a video claiming the virus was killed by heat so you need to direct your hairdryer up your nose. It wasn't a joke, just straight up scaremongering lies.

I always knew she was pretty dim, she often would send me dumb antivax and health videos. She has subsequently cancelled all her clients as she is too scared to go out (I had called to discuss contact-free distance services) and she told me she had to drive to loads of different shops to get "a few bits" before she went into lockdown - and sent me a photo of over 30 toilet rolls (one person).

I know someone like that. He says electricity makes him ill and he can't sleep in a house with electricity. Very limiting life. As are all the tin foil hat things. I don't really react to stuff like that, if they go on about it I just sympathize that it effects then so badly.

I would get on with my day...Different ppl believe different things.

Thanks for some measured responses. I’ll think about that and try not to let it affect me so much. I just feel it’s so insensitive to send it at the moment. But she obviously believes it. I don’t know why it’s angered me so much

I'd worry about their mental health.

I'd stick about 5 laughing faces in the comments and then go about my day.

I would think that person was a moron
