Is anyone becoming suspicious?

I am not. I am referring to increased posts on a Covid-19 Facebook group and peoples comments on posts, news links and news websites

I'm unsure if people are just getting twitchy or they genuinely believe this isn't a real thing??

Probe me. I dare you.

Is anyone becoming suspicious?

It's an actual virus, but a very strange one. One of the common symptoms, according to The Guardian, is something called Happy Hypoxia. People are presenting, fully conscious and reasonably happy, with blood oxygen levels so low that they should be unsconscious. And yet doctors report they're chatting away. One woman walked in to A & E saying she "felt cold". Her blood oxygen level was around 30%. Basically she should have been unconscious when it got below 75%. She later died. Doctors said they'd never seen or heard of anything like it before Covid19. Tell me again there's nothing strange going on Hmm

Milliontjm86 · 05/05/2020 22:26

Nothing to do with can’t, the original poster asked, is anyone becoming suspicious?? No one else has been jumped on for their opinions other than me. Most seem to believe what the government are telling, are they questioned on why they believe what they are being told? No they’re not. I say I don’t believe everything we are being told yet I’m the nut job, conspiracy theorist.

RuffleCrow · 05/05/2020 22:33

Don't worry @milliontjm86 honestlyi think a lot of posters on here just can't bring themselves to question those obvious incompetents we find in charge of us. It's like taking away their security blanket. They've decided it's more 'stupid' to ask questions than just be a good girl and accept what you're told. You won't get anything more than shut down and insulted if you beg to differ. Sorry.

Milliontjm86 · 05/05/2020 22:36

Never said there isn’t an actual virus, i have said I don’t believe everything the government are telling us. For example, all along the government have said they are being led by the science, yet sage have some out and said they were purely there to give advice but it was the government who make the decisions. It’s just been one cock up after another.

Milliontjm86 · 05/05/2020 22:39

Exactly, I just gave my opinion, I’m aware we won’t all share the same views and that’s fine but i didn’t see anyone being laughed at for believing what they do.

7Days · 05/05/2020 23:00

You are missing the point million and ruffle

People are asking for evidence about why you believe what you do.

Otherwise it's not a discussion, is it? It's just noise.

No need to act the poor brave little soldier over it.

LastTrainEast · 05/05/2020 23:03

Milliontjm86 Everything you have said is standard conspiracy fare. I could write all your posts just by copy/pasting from youtube comments. You even did the "You know what I actually can’t be bothered to explain myself" line. :)

The exact wording varies, but when pressed they suddenly remember they don't have to answer or that they have a dentist appointment. :) Then they say "do your own research" and you did that too.

What's your position regarding Nibiru? Will it hit in 72 hours?

LastTrainEast · 05/05/2020 23:05

"all along the government have said they are being led by the science, yet sage have some out and said they were purely there to give advice but it was the government who make the decisions"

You actually think that is a contradiction don't you.

Milliontjm86 · 06/05/2020 00:06

No I don’t think that it’s a contradiction, i think it’s pretty much spelling out that they have been pissing In the wind. I do not watch YouTube but still why is what someone chooses to put out on there branded conspiracy theorists?? The whole situation is an absolute shambles. I am
obviously no scientist, these people are much more clever but that doesn’t mean I have to believe the government and media. Again the reasons I said I can’t be bothered to explain myself is because I am not interested in trying to change anyone’s view I just simply answered the original posters question.

Mimishimi · 06/05/2020 00:09

I think there is something strange going on. I also believe the virus is real. It's also possible it's a tool.

For hundreds of years there have been conspiracies to steal from and maim millions. Irish, Jews, gypsies, ordinary folk everywhere really. You would actually have to be a bit thick to think that those responsible could not be up to their dirty old tricks again.

Already in Australia they are reporting increased police raids.

Milliontjm86 · 06/05/2020 00:10

@LastTrainEast you are clearly much more superior than I am, or at least you think you are.

Confusedasusual78 · 06/05/2020 00:39

@Mimishimi Increased police raids? For what, sorry I’m confused!

I too, believe the virus is real, but there’s definitely something more going on..all seems so strange. I so wish I believed there wasn’t as it would help my anxiety so much.

chunkycoke · 06/05/2020 00:41

No I’m not suspicious

priya38 · 06/05/2020 00:53

I believe the virus is real, but man made in a lab. To take money out of the system and to get us all using cards, also to enable many more things to be done online to allow for a much more technological based communicative society. Hence why 5G is being implemented at the same time to be able to adhere to the extra bandwidth being used.

With these sorts of things there's always a bigger agenda behind the scenes.

Also the app we are now all supposed to be using to track the virus, would just be to track us. Privacy is something we don't have anymore. China already have all this in place and the worlds following.

Mimishimi · 06/05/2020 01:52

Increased police raids 'to keep our community safe' apparently.

5th Vit D3 study from Belgium.

Males showed markedly higher percentage of vitamin D deficiency ..Vit D deficiency is a possible risk factor for severe infection in males. Vit D3 supplementation might be an inexpensive, accessible and safe mitigation for covid

TheHumansAreDefinitelyDead · 06/05/2020 12:52

Priya, yes, something like that, definitely

pointythings · 06/05/2020 18:30

OK, so the virus was bioengineered to stop us all paying with cash and use card instead. And that's not conspiracy theory stuff?

Theeighthelephant · 06/05/2020 23:06

MasterCard must be in on it...

TooTrueToBeGood · 07/05/2020 10:26

Fuck me, the illuminati don't half like doing things the difficult way. If they want to drive us towards a cashless society they could do things like get the banks to reduce the number of ATMs, charge for cash withdrawals, charge business more for banking cash etc. But no, that's too easy. Why not bioengineer a virus, cause a pandemic and put the world economy on its arse? That makes much more sense.

NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite · 07/05/2020 10:39

Hospitals aren't empty but in some hospitals there are many wards that are closed.

As there are hundreds of rural villages with no cases of Covid-19, I suppose I can imagine a scenario where a hospital may have closed wards due to the expectation of being overwhelmed and so is empty as a result. However, there are 13k+ Covid-19 cases in hospitals so others are obviously not empty.

Even if one hospital was empty, it doesn't mean the virus doesn't exist. It was a man in my road's funeral last week. He died from Covid-19 3 weeks previously. I'm pretty sure his widow wouldn't agree with the stupid conspiracy theory.

pointythings · 07/05/2020 10:58

Hospitals aren't full because most of them have sent patients home in preparation for a surge of COVID patients. These patients are being cared for in the community and need intensive support, because they've been discharged earlier than normal. My trust has reconfigured all its services to provide that support.

Acute Trusts have converted every bed and ward they can into a potential ICU bed. Again, my trust has done this too, despite being Mental Health/Community - the small handful of wards/spaces which have piped oxygen have been made ready. The reason ICU isn't running beyond 60% is that ICU capacity has been massively increased almost overnight.

So far, fortunately, the surge hasn't happened. But in my organisation 30% of the staff being tested are testing positive for corona - whether symptomatic or not. One has died, 5 more are critically ill. My DD2's GF has had it - she's 17, has some underlying conditions but is normally well. 6 weeks on she's still not fully herself and is only just feeling up to school work.

Shut it with the conspiracy bollocks.

NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite · 07/05/2020 11:46

@Milliontjm86

"I do not think this virus is as deadly or contagious,"
I'd be interested in whether you would take yourself and your loved ones unprotected into a hospital Covid ward or ICU to prove your umm theory?

"I am not very good at putting what I mean into words"
At least you have some self-awareness. Can you not extend that to accepting that you just don't understand what the Govt, scientists and reports are all saying?

NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite · 07/05/2020 11:58

"Shut it with the conspiracy bollocks."

Hear hear. My ndn is a nurse and her ward was closed along with many others. She was only redeployed about 10 days ago so had been at home for several weeks. When she went back to work, she discovered her Dept head had died as well as a nurse she knows and two further nurses she worked with are in ICU. She has since found out a patient she tended in a non-covid ward with bog standard PPE was very ill in a covid ward the next day. She is now terrified. It is most definitely real.

So, yes, shut it with the conspiracy bollocks!!
