Jennis question is exactly what makes it seem all very suspicious to me...

People were "supposedly" dropping like flies and now its not even making people ill to the point of needing to go to hospital

Maybe it has mutated,maybe the summer heat helped,maybe social distancing blablabla

But the fact remains that NOBODY KNOWS!!!

Occams Razor Jen Jen.  When two (or more ...) explanations exist, which account for ALL the facts, the simpler of the explanations is more likely to be correct.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

Your right not everything is a conspiracy, but a lot is.

I remember being in New York years ago, when all hell broke loose, because in the US constitution it says that after so many years (I think it is 50, but don't quote me) the government have to release previously undisclosed records. They released records showing that in the 60/70's the government released LSD thru the air ducting system on the New York Subway, just to see what effect it had if any on people. When people started to feel ill etc, a Conspiracy Theorist started saying it was something the Government had done, of course he was shouting out of court as a nut case. X amount of years later he proved to be right, it was a Government  Conspiracy. I think the US Government were ruled to pay compensation to those's affected, if they could prove it, some chance.

I think its always a good idea to listen to people that are now called   Conspiracy Theorists because they could just have a point.

Indeed Jenni , like in one of the southern states in the 30's when the US govnt deliberately secretely gave syphillis to black people which is where the term "bad blood" derives from as the victims were told that they had bad blood and the syphillis was the "cure" treatment. Again officially released documents. Also US navy releasing gaseous substances from a ship in San Fran harbour blowing on to the city to experiment using unbeknowing citizens as guinea pigs. The list is endless

I'd prefer to take the advice of Reagan over Dario as Reagan at least spent several years in politics, as a govener of a state and president.Therefore I think he is far more understanding and experience of how governments really work behind the scenes as opposed to believing that we live in a truly democratic utopia with choices ,freedoms and liberties as Dario states he does.

I think this is worth thinking about:

"A Quote From Dr. Fauci.

“Chickenpox is a virus. Lots of people have had it, and probably don't think about it much once the initial illness has passed. But it stays in your body and lives there forever, and maybe when you're older, you have debilitatingly painful outbreaks of shingles. You don't just get over this virus in a few weeks, never to have another health effect. We know this because it's been around for years, and has been studied medically for years.

Herpes is also a virus. And once someone has it, it stays in your body and lives there forever, and anytime they get a little run down or stressed-out they're going to have an outbreak. Maybe every time you have a big event coming up (school pictures, job interview, big date) you're going to get a cold sore. For the rest of your life. You don't just get over it in a few weeks. We know this because it's been around for years, and been studied medically for years.

HIV is a virus. It attacks the immune system and makes the carrier far more vulnerable to other illnesses. It has a list of symptoms and negative health impacts that goes on and on. It was decades before viable treatments were developed that allowed people to live with a reasonable quality of life. Once you have it, it lives in your body forever and there is no cure. Over time, that takes a toll on the body, putting people living with HIV at greater risk for health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, diabetes, bone disease, liver disease, cognitive disorders, and some types of cancer. We know this because it has been around for years, and had been studied medically for years.

Now with COVID-19, we have a novel virus that spreads rapidly and easily. The full spectrum of symptoms and health effects is only just beginning to be cataloged, much less understood.

So far the symptoms may include:

Fever

Fatigue

Coughing

Pneumonia

Chills/Trembling

Acute respiratory distress

Lung damage (potentially permanent)

Loss of taste (a neurological symptom)

Sore throat

Headaches

Difficulty breathing

Mental confusion

Diarrhea

Nausea or vomiting

Loss of appetite

Strokes have also been reported in some people who have COVID-19 (even in the relatively young)

Swollen eyes

Blood clots

Seizures

Liver damage

Kidney damage

Rash

COVID toes (weird, right?)

People testing positive for COVID-19 have been documented to be sick even after 60 days. Many people are sick for weeks, get better, and then experience a rapid and sudden flare up and get sick all over again. A man in Seattle was hospitalized for 62 days, and while well enough to be released, still has a long road of recovery ahead of him. Not to mention a $1.1 million medical bill.

Then there is MIS-C. Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children is a condition where different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs. Children with MIS-C may have a fever and various symptoms, including abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, neck pain, rash, bloodshot eyes, or feeling extra tired. While rare, it has caused deaths.

This disease has not been around for years. It has basically been 6 months. No one knows yet the long-term health effects, or how it may present itself years down the road for people who have been exposed. We literally *do not know* what we do not know.

For those in our society who suggest that people being cautious are cowards, for people who refuse to take even the simplest of precautions to protect themselves and those around them, I want to ask, without hyperbole and in all sincerity:

How dare you?

How dare you risk the lives of others so cavalierly. How dare you decide for others that they should welcome exposure as "getting it over with", when literally no one knows who will be the lucky "mild symptoms" case, and who may fall ill and die. Because while we know that some people are more susceptible to suffering a more serious case, we also know that 20 and 30-year-olds have died, marathon runners and fitness nuts have died, children and infants have died.

How dare you behave as though you know more than medical experts, when those same experts acknowledge that there is so much we don't yet know, but with what we DO know, are smart enough to be scared of how easily this is spread, and recommend baseline precautions such as:

Frequent hand-washing

Physical distancing

Reduced social/public contact or interaction

Mask wearing

Covering your cough or sneeze

Avoiding touching your face

Sanitizing frequently touched surfaces

The more things we can all do to mitigate our risk of exposure, the better off we all are, in my opinion. Not only does it flatten the curve and allow health care providers to maintain levels of service that aren't immediately and catastrophically overwhelmed; it also reduces unnecessary suffering and deaths, and buys time for the scientific community to study the virus in order to come to a more full understanding of the breadth of its impacts in both the short and long term.

I reject the notion that it's "just a virus" and we'll all get it eventually. What a careless, lazy, heartless stance.”

Yay

We are very excited to hear that we may get the vaccine as early as end of this year and that SPAIN purchased 30.000.000! Excellent news! We believe that this is the only way for the world to get back to some normality- everyone-or most people ,vaccinated!

Brilliant!

AstraZenaca are making that claim, subject to successful phase 3 trials, the results of which are due this month.

Face masks have been “risk assessed” by the hundreds of thousands of health care workers who routinely wear them on a daily basis and suffer no ill effects.

I read an article in the New Scientist magazine some time back stating that covid 19 can probably be treated with existing drugs. This would mean that if a vaccine is found it would have under gone extensive trials.........fingers crossed. 

Just reading this morning Sanchez hopes to start vaccinations  as early as December

This post that was quoted has been deleted.

I DID put at the start of this thread that is was meant for those who did believe in vaccinations and were alive to the threat this virus posed.  I also asked that people with differing views respect that request and save their crackpot theories for other threads.

Why is it that you feel the need to disrespect that request and ram your ignorance down our throats?

I have locked this thread as unfortunately the minority are spoiling it for everyone else by posting links to fake news articles written by people who have mental health issues. I will repeat what I said in a different thread:

"This forum is not here to debate whether a serious pandemic disease is real or not. It is a scientific fact it is real. Unfortunately we have a handful of users who wish to tell the world that Covid isn't real, or it's being done to "control people" and we are all being ruled by lizards or Bill Gates or a Bill Gates lizard. It would be irresponsible for any moderator to allow people to warp their minds with this nonsense and put others at serious risk. There have been documented cases where people have sadly died because they believed what they read on the internet when some lunatic has said the very real pandemic is not actually real. I will not allow this forum to harm others in this way.
