cruise line in Norway started up service again a couple of weeks ago. 400 passengers, already 41 positive cases. who in their right minds would get on a cruise ship? they're like enormous floating Petri dishes that, once infected, can wind up quarantined offshore for months. what are people thinking?

Plus the average age of passengers is like 83.

a few pre-COVID years ago, I knew some hipster types who decided to go on a cruise as an ironic adventure and even they ended up regretting it after a few days.

i could get on board with the mixed biscuits programme if only he came up with a decent conspiracy theory to explain the motive. that's what's missing on this board. someone with an explanation.

In 2017 Fauci said there will be a surprise outbreak
Fauci is partnered with Gates foundation
Gates wants to vaccinate entire population
Gates suggested lowering population through vaccines
Gates is working on a global digital ID & a global vaccine ID

We were at the airport a couple weeks ago and thought the same thing. Felt like we were in an episode of The Walking Dead. Not once did we cover our mouths with masks. And we made sure to smile at all children... so they can feel the love of humanity, not the masked freak show.

This is actually a lot more consistent and rational than m_b's position, which as far as I can see is:

Massively exaggerate the risk (for no particular reason)
Completely fuck up our already faltering economy (for no particular reason)
Hugely inflate covid-19 death rates (to make it look like the government has done a much worse job than it really has, and make itself hugely unpopular)

This is the problem. It doesn't hang together. The motives aren't strong enough. There's too many inconsistencies. He's a conspiracy theorist without a theory. We need to get the theory done.
 
The Chinese subterfuge angle is the only one that really sticks in this scenario. Either that or evil Jeff Bezos

I did like the one going round WhatsApp that it was America going for China but fucking up massively- the Chinese even pushed that one themselves for a bit, it was an agent posing as a cyclist I think- but yeah, lacking substance.

In a way the conspiracy theorists clinging to QAnon is like when bands you like just tour their greatest hits. There's so much potential to do something new here. Oh well

This interview is even more frightening than all the other really frightening ones...

I'm switching from my previous position which was "Trump only grasps about half of what's going on and tells loads of lies" to "Actually Trump understands nothing of what is going on and at this point is just a sad mentally degraded zombie victim who just says random stuff".

On top of everything else; the massive double-standard when he insists that you can't compare death rate per head of population but should only compare death rates per infected - despite at the same time claiming that the US infected rates are misleadingly high cos they're testing more, so his argument is to calculate the deaths as a proportion of a number he himself claims is artificially inflated and then present the resulting artificially small percent as proof that the regime is doing well.
But really what truly shocks is the helpless scrabbling through papers, the desperate failing attempts to glean some meaning from any of it and the hopelessly holding random things up saying "Look... US lower than world on that one" etc while clearly not knowing the difference between North and South Korea and completely failing to understand any of the questions being put to him.
