It's bad enough that you feel the need to post an unhelpful Daily Mail-esque conspiracy theory but could you not have put it in the CORONAVIRUS 20-page thread where it could be buried under all the other speculation?
It did not take long for a call to shut down this thread Why? Is having an opinion that differs from the official one so outrages? why are you not allowed to ask some very obvious questions.

Whos said you're not allowed to ask them?
Why not ask "some very obvious questions" on a even more obvious related thread thats already 20 pages long..
why does it matter whether its this thread or the other "even more obvious related thread" are we running out of pages.
All sorts on nonsense conspiracies coming out even though the people who work in this area have said it is probably a normal animal to human transmission as with other viruses ( bat's and Pangolins currently favourites for the blame)
I was on a plane 2 weeks ago with an American who said " it had been confirmed" That it was down to Obama ( I'll take a guess she was a republican). Apparently American scientists had discovered this very virus 10 years ago but Obama refused to allow them to make it public. He also refused to let any research be carried out and refused to let them find a cure or vaccine. This tourist was flying home 2 weeks early and it was all Obama's fault
So there you have it, not a conspiracy at all !!!!

another conspiracy theory is that it is spread via the 5 G network so countries who are having less of an issue don’t have a developed network
There is a guy in the US called Alex Jones who is the ultimate conspiracy theorist and I think was the guy who conned the daily express into printing the China Laboratory story. His radio shows are unbelievable. He’s finally got himself into trouble with his lies about a particular massacre in the US although I’m sure the millions he has made will more than cover it. Conspiracy theories are a hobby of mine ( not the conspiracies themselves but why people believe them) and it’s unbelievable what some people will believe
Unfortunately some people are also now buying miracle cures too.
Eh? I don’t understand the correlation between Tony Blair lying and believing in what is clearly fake news. They are both just as bad as each other are they not? Or are you suggesting that because Tony Blair lied then fake news should be believed? Bizarre but unsurprising logic.

The Blair government and Alastair Campbells' perverted sense of the truth was the forerunner of all this crap.
For him to be called Blair was simply ironic.

Fake news was around long before Blair and Campbell, though. Think of the BBC's edited footage of police charging the miners in the 80s that was edited to make it look like the miners charged the police, for example.

Are you saying that, because of what Blair and Campbell did, it’s perfectly acceptable for people to spread lies now? I don’t get the logic there. Surely both are as wrong as the other?
why does it matter whether its this thread or the other "even more obvious related thread" are we running out of pages.
To keep the same topic on the same thread perhaps?
Or here's a better idea let's just open up a new thread anytime we fancy making a comment instead of adding to an already available existing one..... spot on

The same Obama that set up a pandemic response team (the "Global Health Security" unit led by Timothy Ziemer) within the Executive Branch during his term, a team that wrote a paper describing the lack of preparedness in the USA and how this would have drastic impacts in the event of a global pandemic.
Trump and John Bolton disbanded the team in May 2018. Homeland Security advisor Tom Bossert, who had called for a "comprehensive biodefense strategy against pandemics and biological attacks” had already also been fired in April.

Trump’s handling of the Coronavirus crisis has been dreadful. He’s oscillated between denial, self-aggrandisement and blame. Today he’s back to self-aggrandisement but as the numbers get worse he’ll back to blame. Much of this conspiracy theory/fake news is an acknowledgment that their man is having a shocker. Deflect the attention away from him and onto anyone foreign and/or liberal.

I had to Google what a Pangolin was. They are cool as fcuk.

Even books written by Tories on the Miners strike acknowledge the fake news churned out at the time

I had thought Trump, whilst being a fcukwit, was doing a very good job economically for the US and managed not to do anything excessively stupid, but his flip flopping and backtracking has been appalling, what is happening in NY being an example. His issue imho is he is purely good at economics and not in being a president.
Some conspiracy theories have validity, if America goes into recession, China can put huge economic pressure on the US and manipulate the price of the dollar, due to huge borrowing, that’s factual.
Think the truth is nobody will ever know or find out, at public level anyway what has caused this!
