According to a Fox News host, it's because the Chinese people are starving and so desperate for food they resort to eating raw bats! You can't make this stuff up.

The one I keep reading on Facebook is that the flu is far worse and they quote stupid figures for how many people die from the flu. So what is the panic for?

There's only one way to get back at the evil toilet-paper companies: Spread the rumor that wiping transmits the disease. Toilet paper is the vector!!!

in the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak people were thinking this can be a resident evil scenario because of a skin care place they said was a biological research lab in wuhang had a logo close to the umbrella corporation.
Turns out the logo has changed and the place was in Shanghai. Another conspiracy is that the chinese was executing people in china with the coronavirus in an effort to stop the spread. When i saw this my initial response was if it were true it would be an ineffective way to contain it. I don't believe in any of them i am just throwing some conspiracies that did make the circuit around the internet. |

Basically i have been sent this bunk that says that 4g and g5 does harm to the body and that is this covid19 is the cause of the illness. To cull the masses and bring about this NWO I don't believe it because i have seen so many errors you might as well make spooky stories and it would make much sense. |
