Covid Conspiracy (it’s just a flu)

What do you think about the people saying that this virus is being blown out of proportion and it’s nothing more than an extreme flu 🤧 that is being used to keep society constricted?

This is not something I believe in but I’m seeing a lot of similar activity on social media where people are downplaying the severity of this virus 🦠...

I’m curious what DXP Society thinks 🐒



- spill your thoughts, Im avoiding folding laundry 😂-

They obviously don’t work in healthcare. This shit is not a joke. 😐

I have no idea, I’m just saying I’m seeing this a lot in social media. I know a ton of people in HC, I know the reality.

I personally think a lot of ignorance to this virus could be easily disputed with more in-depth footage of the frontlines and what the money and supplies is doing to assist with saving lives.

Otherwise I don’t think there will be a shortage of these conspiracies.

I think these people need to dawn on some PPE and walk into all these rooms where people are dying alone. They also need to go wait in some ERs where people are being triaged according to how much life they have to live because there aren't enough ventilators for everyone that could survive with one.

Get your ass a job in a hospital so you can experience the total chaos from this thing whether the ED is jam packed or not. Then tell me it's not that bad. Oh. Wait. You wouldn't.

Sick of people.

I see a lot of moms that I personally would never think would come forward with their views voicing against the validity of this virus...

When just a few weeks ago they were all losing their shit panicking about preparing for this virus and now they’ve suddenly changed.

I don’t think them having more knowledge would help tbh. I find them voicing their toxic opinion does more harm than anything. Instead of being content and happy to be home they’re complaining about their kids all the time, saying the virus is fake and they’re not going to be stopped from social gathering and parties.

😟 It might be just me, but I personally think these people haven’t seen or experienced any real challenges in life. It’s just plain ignorance.

The flu kills too.

I hope people start staying home from work when they are sick. Don’t go to the store and sneeze on produce cause your killing someone’s grams.

I have conflicting views. Sue me 🤷🏾‍♂️

Shit.

I know someone who has lost a loved one to this. I also am aware that some people can not be comfortable in their home environments because of various, normal ass reasons that were there beforehand.

Tis a weird mother-f'n time in society...everyone has people or loved ones, ideas, beliefs, first hand experience, whatever...that they've been affected by, or made to re-think...it isn't one thing you can conclude...it's changing things left n right.

Edit: yes, I rambled...sry not sry lol

Shit.

Don’t you live in NY or nearby? Do you know anyone that has it? I know NY has been hit hard. I have a friend in NYC that has been messaging me lately, he has lost 3 loved ones in 1 week to COVID. He’s having trouble coping and is depressed because of losing people back to back without having time to mourn. I don’t even know what to say to him half the time ☹️💔

No I don't live in NY. Yes I am close by. No I don't know anyone who's died because of it. Even when someone did catch it, from what I hear they're doing fine now. The reason NY is being hit so hard is because of the amount of people bunched up so closely together in one city. Its not the only place like that and they're feeling the same effects as well I'm sure.

To be completely honest with you though, I'm finding it really hard for me to be surprised by any of this. I knew this shit would go down 10 years ago 🤷🏾‍♂️

Nonetheless, I don't think this particular epidemic is the end all of society. This is more of a test.

Not to be callous... but how old were they? And how healthy

One was a mother and her adult son, the mother was obviously older, her son was 40 or younger.But I am in nurse groups and there are also a bunch of young nurses who are now on ventilators and in ICUs... Their husbands are sharing gofundme accounts and shit like that in the nurse groups. It’s putting all ages in the ICU. I’ve had a few friends have it but they thankfully isolated and recovered. I had symptoms myself but my swab came back negative. But I have had a smokers cough for the past MONTH and I’ve never been a smoker. 🤨 so I wonder if I did have the virus and they swabbed me too late and got a false negative

Was this that case where the woman and her 2 children died after a family gathering?

Edit : Sorry I just realized her two children were in their 50s, so it's a different case.

Can I say that apparently MN has done a decent job at this social distancing and flattening the curve stuff? Or at least our governor says so...makes me feel kinda good in all this weirdness, we do have smaller populations than other areas of the US tho so, I mean...grain of salt? Idk, still make some feel good.

Not gonna lie, when this first came out, and information wasn't as readily available, I was like "meh, whatever".

But when more and more news started leaking out of China, I started paying more attention. China is notorious for not releasing real data. So even with the screwed data coming out, I changed my mind on the "meh".

I've been pretty vocal about my opinion on this.. pretty sure y'all don't want to hear it again. 🤷‍♀️

Australia has already flatten the curve if not very close to it. But overall, it worked well here to do social distancing and self isolation. It's the best way to avoid catching it, have less people in ER and the health are workers don't get overworked so they can continue to do their job.

I've read a couple articles the last few days that have said Minnesota is one of, if not the, leader in flattening the curve and having the lowest infection/death rate in the US (like I said tho, grain of salt...we aren't part of any of the super-major metro areas but the data reflects that or whatever, math was never my strong suit lol) anywho...they attributed it to our longer, more harsh winters and having to hunker down possibly more often than other states/areas of the US. Makes sense...we're used to having to be 'stayed put' for a few days, which would help us navigate these weird ass times lol.

Anywho, I rambled a lot, sry 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

Same. I was sceptical and I truly thought there was no way it’d make it here and if it did it would be a few hundred at best.

North America now has the highest infection rates.

As for the stories coming out of China. An ex of mine told me a few weeks ago that his mother who stayed in HK is telling him a lot of stories, about more deaths than the numbers, he also said that people are unable to reach relatives entirely.....people dropping in the streets.

A lot of this seems really far out there but at the same time, doesn’t everything usually end up being an entire shit show.

Haha! That's alright. Staying put is good. It helps in times like this. I just hope it's the same for other locations moving forward. If this lasts til next year we are all fucked even more.

Well I’m glad you don’t know of anyone yet that it has killed. Yes I agree that it’s because of the high population and the public transportation, etc... not too far up north from where I live, Michigan is getting hit pretty hard too and they are not as highly populated as NY.

click to expand

I'm sure population isn't the only aspect that should be taken into consideration when dealing with the spread of it, but it's a huge elephant as well.

Temperature, impoverished communities, transportation as you already stated, cash transactions, social distancing, overall health, etc. etc. Maybe Michigan falls into one of those categories.

Look at the bright side, at least you and your child are currently safe without it.

I only believe about 1% of information that comes from China's government.

They wouldn't completely shut down Wuhan the way they did, sterilize streets the way they did, or build hospitals the way they did for the numbers they released publicly.

Hell, they controlled the shit out of the news on the HK riots as well. They hold an iron fist on any news and data they let out.

They have imprisoned people for their religious beliefs for decades in work camps.

So I wouldn't be surprised if the actual number of deaths is 10 or more times higher than they officially announced.

Two tricks:

Place a small tissue inside across the bridge of nose or if it has the bendable part, pinch it down so it’s secure to your nose. Took me a minute and googling to find that out. I haven’t tried the tissue trick but playing with the fit of my mask did.

Take a piece of nose tissue and fold into four (long strip) and place directly under the wire nose bridge of your mask 😷

It stops your air from going up to your glasses 🤓

Ur welcome

i'm intrigued to know if how long immunity will last after you get it.

i'm assuming i will get it at some stage. early reports here in the uk were that 80% of the population will experience it.

i know of some who tested positive but had no symptoms. i wonder how common that is and how many people have already had it but completely asymptomatic.

needless to say, even though my contract was terminated, i am grateful i am fortunate enough not to be a key worker and have the luxury of staying at home.

Some doctors said that the flu was a lot worse than COVID19. As information changed, so did the opinions.

Maybe there's information breakdown in the way we use social media/technology.

I mean, were so used to the MEMEs that maybe some people's brain detaches the photo from the actual situation. We're creating a different response from the actual situation based of the MEMEs.

Idk. I lost my point.

memes are a doulble edged sword. They can be used as comfort in dark times but eventually your perception can become warped and with it your sense of reality. Most people just want to escape this hellscape but noone wants to except the grim reality of where we're at this current moment.

The only conspiracy is that it's a man-made virus. A sophisticated virus.

It attacks the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and so only the strong survive it. Very evil people made this virus, it gives you instant pneumonia. You don't even know you have it until it's too late or you may have already beaten it. Only SOME people have symptoms quickly.. But it can take up to 2 weeks to show symptoms for most.. That's why this shit is steady spreading, because people are unknowingly spreading it.

Just a quick depopulation, social experiment, and prep for Marshall Law and the mark of the beast - the chip.

Hmm idk. My aunt is a head nurse at a big hospital and she said they've only had one confirmed patient with the virus so far.

I feel like this virus will kill me though. I've had a fever every day for over a month along with a cough like I'm perpetually stuck in stage one of corona...

Only one? That is strange....where is she?

Try stay positive and build up your immune system ..... doctors are now saying vitamins a and c may be helpful in fighting the virus

2 friends....dead

One in his 30s

I have mixed feelings about this crap.

I just think it’s a horrendous strain of the flu. I think that people are scared and they have a right to be. Especially people with underlying conditions.

The WHO estimates a global total of up to 650,000 die each year from the common flu. Malaria claims at least 400,000 each year.

Flu? Is that why Italy had a death toll of more than 1000 per day and now the US is leading on that steep slope?

They’ve began to realize this is a misdiagnosed respiratory related phenomena virus....reality is that they’re now understanding that the virus is in the blood and degeneration of dying cells which cause an inflammation response that is becoming increasingly fatal as the virus develops which they naturally do.

I believe the US death rate is currently 31% or higher once you actually calculate the mean numbers. This means out of 10 people in your family to catch this virus, three will die and another three to four more will be in hospital or care for four months or more until this virus clears entirely from the system.

The US has 62,000 flu deaths per year on average whereas within just two months....half of that 32k + have already died from a virus people are also saying is “just a flu”. The average flu people die from takes close to a month for them to pass on due to outlying factors related to failure to thrive from the flu.......whereas with this virus the outlying factors related to the virus take days to take someone’s life.

This is what makes this a pandemic. Once the lungs are no longer able to function properly you have 24 hours until death, with this “flu”. With a common flu you’d be able to linger through symptoms for 3-4 weeks before you’d actually be sick enough to require hospitalization.



Globally - the common flu kills the most in developing nations. This virus is wiping out and stopping economies in first world nations.

Fact: this is stage one of this virus and they’ve yet to trace its second act which will be deadlier by a long shot than the first. It’s just getting warmed up and it’s learning so much from us....now we wait, because this isn’t just a flu.

We’re fukt 👏

I cringed every time I would see somebody on Facebook quote one of these Hollywood docs like Dr Drew or Dr Oz 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m like cut it the fuck out. Lol 🤣🤣 neither of them specialize in infectious disease they should have just kept their mouths shut because they both downplayed it then had to back peddle.

I meant hospital doctors.

Information changed everyday. In some hospitals, staff didn't have to self-isolate for 14 days despite traveling but then that changed too. Some nurses were smart enough to leave paper trails in case of anything.

Oh ok yeah I see what you’re saying. That is ironically still going on from what I hear, rules regarding PPE are changing everyday. There is some speculation from some doctors that the vents are doing more harm than good. So there are still a lot of unanswered questions, but the epidemiologists were saying this is 3x more contagious than the flu. I was convinced it was airborne back when they were still saying “just wash your hands and cover your cough”. I was like no, this isn’t adding up it’s gotta be more than that.

click to expand

The ventilators are not working because they’re treating this as a respiratory failure but it’s behaving more like altitude sickness / per the condition of the lungs.

The oxygen is making it easier to help the patient breath but it’s not the solution and it’s certainly not increasing their chances of survival like initially thought.

Right now you have a higher chance of surviving taking zink, vitamin c and Q10 in high dosages....taking a sauna and rapid cold bath multiple tiles a day and having someone knock out your phlegm with severe paddling than relying on a vent.

What’s happening is insane and no one has the answers but alternative methods are proving helpful and mainstream medicine needs to take notice.

Also, them touting the next “cure” aka the drug used for malaria isn’t a solution- it’s a patch to stop the cells from replicating. Cells dying off once they’ve stopped replicating still creates inflammation response in the lungs which then triggers fluid uptake and mucous production/protection.....it slows down the replication but does nothing to assist in handling the outlying symptoms that killing people.

I hope we're better prepared in September.

I don’t think we will be to be honest. The US main concern is returning to work ASAP, meanwhile they’re quite literally putting its most vulnerable citizens at risk- let’s not even mention that POC are currently its predominant visiting in the states. People need to realize that they’re nothing more than frontline soldiers and there is little to no respect or dignity for human lives. The same is said for how China treats its citizens.....but the very same ethos is being practiced by the US government by enacting policy changes and demands to put people back at risk just to restart the economy.

As for Canada 🇨🇦.....we won’t last until September on a lockdown. Our economy is living on borrowed time and money, we will have to return to work with what little is left of our work force after this. They’re estimating 60 % of the economy will return and it will take a further 10 years or more to repair 15% .

How we handle this virus is directly related to economy. Luckily in Canada we value lives more than a false start to economy but that sentiment won’t last forever. Well eventually restart but with heavy restrictions and people will be at risk but social distancing measures will be strictly enforced to reduce clusters until a vaccine is available.

Our main risk once this virus shifts into phase 2 will be any airborne contact with an infected person. Outlying heath factors or illnesses won’t be a factor in deaths as of phase 2.....it’s literally designed to hyper inflate everything it learned in phase 1 and to spread as widely and rapidly as possible. Phase 3 is a degenerative phase so it’s not as worrying but people will die quicker but less volume.

The R0 value of virus is the only think that’s able to be slowed down by quarantine. It’s just a game of waiting out the R0 infection rate to change and change to phase 2 on its own and limit population movement. That’s all that can be done.

You dropped numbers that I thought was interesting to use as an example. Considering majority of deaths from common flu are in developing nations yet USA is set to match their annual flu death stats within 3 months.

If you don’t want a response, don’t post in a topic where you’re not interested in someone else’s opinion.

The Spanish flu, also known as the 1918 flu pandemic, was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic. Lasting from January 1918 to December 1920, it infected 500 million people – about a quarter of the world's population at the time. Approx 50 million people passed.

There has been just over 100,000 deaths globally with the new pandemic so far.

Reading through your reply, you completely dismissed the facts. Which is what my reply to you was about.

Look, the reality is you can’t handle any woman talking to you on the same level and handing facts right back to you.

You cannot handle any level of discussion with anyone without returning to the same bitter tyrannical tactics.

This is why people don’t even entertain a discussion with you or care about your opinion.

Your facts were met and I responded. Now get on your little giddy-up......because you don’t want to actually catch my attention 😈

The Spanish flu, also known as the 1918 flu pandemic, was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic. Lasting from January 1918 to December 1920, it infected 500 million people – about a quarter of the world's population at the time. Approx 50 million people passed.

There has been just over 100,000 deaths globally with the new pandemic so far.

That was also at a time when diarrhea was still lethal.

Lucky for us today we don’t have exploding asses.

I have mixed feelings about this crap.

I just think it’s a horrendous strain of the flu. I think that people are scared and they have a right to be. Especially people with underlying conditions.

The WHO estimates a global total of up to 650,000 die each year from the common flu. Malaria claims at least 400,000 each year.

Flu? Is that why Italy had a death toll of more than 1000 per day and now the US is leading on that steep slope?

They’ve began to realize this is a misdiagnosed respiratory related phenomena virus....reality is that they’re now understanding that the virus is in the blood and degeneration of dying cells which cause an inflammation response that is becoming increasingly fatal as the virus develops which they naturally do.

I believe the US death rate is currently 31% or higher once you actually calculate the mean numbers. This means out of 10 people in your family to catch this virus, three will die and another three to four more will be in hospital or care for four months or more until this virus clears entirely from the system.

The US has 62,000 flu deaths per year on average whereas within just two months....half of that 32k + have already died from a virus people are also saying is “just a flu”. The average flu people die from takes close to a month for them to pass on due to outlying factors related to failure to thrive from the flu.......whereas with this virus the outlying factors related to the virus take days to take someone’s life.

This is what makes this a pandemic. Once the lungs are no longer able to function properly you have 24 hours until death, with this “flu”. With a common flu you’d be able to linger through symptoms for 3-4 weeks before you’d actually be sick enough to require hospitalization.



Globally - the common flu kills the most in developing nations. This virus is wiping out and stopping economies in first world nations.

Fact: this is stage one of this virus and they’ve yet to trace its second act which will be deadlier by a long shot than the first. It’s just getting warmed up and it’s learning so much from us....now we wait, because this isn’t just a flu.

We’re fukt 👏

So, why even make a thread where you don’t care what people have to say?

Just another “agree with me or your wrong” thread

I see.... 🤔

I’ve barely posted in my own topic and I’ve stayed relatively quiet while reading everyone’s responses. I care to read and see how people are developing their opinions and what exactly it is they’re falling back on for logic.

You dropped numbers that I thought was interesting to use as an example. Considering majority of deaths from common flu are in developing nations yet USA is set to match their annual flu death stats within 3 months.

If you don’t want a response, don’t post in a topic where you’re not interested in someone else’s opinion.

The CDC says the common flu have caused up to 62,000 deaths this flu season in the US alone.

Did you google: flu deaths per year in the US

?

You’ll have to scroll to a previous year 😂

Use 2018-2019. The 2019-2020 stats isn’t over yet....

In the meantime I’m not responding to you. I don’t think there’s anything to learn from you.

I just don't understand why people down here where I'm at are not wearing a mask. And me acting like a governor of South Carolina trying to tell a lot of folks about how serious this shit is and going all into details about their safety and these idiots not taking heed. They think they super man and super woman. It looks as if I'm the only one who's wearing masks everyday. I did my part in warning them so now it's on their hands.

Get the fuck off the post with your big sad vagina. You don’t want a discussion— you want people to agree with you and your “facts” that’s nothing more than a minute google search and a copy and paste. Do you even read entire articles before you post?

There’s numerous people on this post alone who have cultivated much more articulate and detailed responses than yours, with the same consensus as yours.

Now stop egging for a response. You’re not unique and you said nothing of value.

There has been just over 100,000 deaths globally with the new pandemic so far.

That's 500million deaths in 25 months. That's 20million deaths each month, in 1918. Extraordinarily high, though not sure what the global population was at that time.

100,000 deaths globally from covid after 6 months=16,666 /month.

Will lowball and say approx. 6billion people in the world. 100k out of 6billion so far.

Stats seem cold but need to look at it this way when justifying all the prolonged damage of all shutdowns etc.

That is twice the monthly rate of the flu.



I still maintain that that rate would be lower if fear hadn't been pumped out if every outlet.

The 1918 epidemic didn’t start off killing 20 million people a month. The virus ebbed and flowed at the start like most do.

What do you think about the people saying that this virus is being blown out of proportion and it’s nothing more than an extreme flu 🤧 that is being used to keep society constricted?

This is not something I believe in but I’m seeing a lot of similar activity on social media where people are downplaying the severity of this virus 🦠...

I’m curious what DXP Society thinks 🐒



- spill your thoughts, Im avoiding folding laundry 😂-

Dont underestimate flu, spanish flu kill million of people in 1918

Seriously, stop Fucking quoting me you idiot.

Go back to my original response. Word for word I responded to every point you made and I explained things fully to you so you could grasp more information.

If you felt insulted by my response then that’s your ego and your issue.

Now please fuck off...I don’t care what you think anymore. Clearly this is precisely why people don’t engage you.

I’m too pregnant to talk to an idiot. 🤷🏻‍♀️

If anyone else wants to discuss the topic please continue.

Don’t mind the ginger special kid in the corner, touching his dink and linking CDC articles he doesn’t fully comprehend or read 😂

Can we all agree that self-care is our best defense though?

No. Ok🚣

Get the fuk out of here with logic! 👏

Who do you think you are? Did anyone ask for logic? No 👏

Smarmy 😆

It could be similar to flu in terms of (symptoms) how it affects people and in death rate (now with the restrictions).

But the difference I see is that Covid19 has no immunity in population (as a new virus) and it is therefore more contagious than flu. Also some/many people can have it without any symptoms and can be vehicles of infection so the spread could be even bigger.

When there is little to no immunity among population it can be spread very fast and hospitals are not able to take proper care for all of them (the circa 5 % of infected people who need hospital care) and what is also dangerous there are still other diseases and issues among people which are and cannot be treated as they should be during these times. So it might happen that prevention and other "non-acute" treatments are postponed and can cause other serious issues.

So without restrictions we have now the mortality could/would be much higher if the people who could be treated and cured would not get to the hospital in first place. It would happen all just too fast to prevent from unnecessary deaths.

That's the main difference between flu and Covid19 I think. It is probably not by itself THAT dangerous. But the speed can overwhelm hospitals and the people who work there... without them there is no "regular" treatment for anyone with any other illness.

2018 common flu claimed 80,000 lives in the US.

https://www.statnews.com/2018/09/26/cdc-us-flu-deaths-winter/

"CDC officials do not have exact counts of how many people die from flu each year. Flu is so common that not all flu cases are reported, and flu is not always listed on death certificates. So the CDC uses statistical models, which are periodically revised, to make estimates.

Fatal complications from the flu can include pneumonia, stroke and heart attack."

What's the percent increase of 1.6 to 2.4?

Everybody should be using the quarantine as an opportunity to catch up on lost sleep, clean and redecorate, cook good homemade meals and eat healthfully and spend quality time napping with cute, cuddly animals.

And gamble but only if you're a pro. I left that part out but I earned mad paper gambling.

If you're smart then get a hold of some authentic viet pho and that'll do plenty to arm you against the 'rona.

Also if you care about preserving your health during a pandemic, hit the green tea and diet cherry 7-Up. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

i'm interested to see how the global numbers will react if and when places like africa and south america are affected ie third world countries who have lack of access to high tech medical facilities.

i imagine numbers are going to skyrocket.

Alex Jones is convinced it's a weaponized virus that leaked from a lab.

So there's that.

That seems to make more sense than the bat thing?

Idk mayne

I have a hard time putting it into words

I don’t typically buy into conspiracy theories in general, and especially not those which would be global in nature like this...but I feel highly suspicious for many reasons.

I understand the need to try to contain/limit the spread of the virus as to not overwhelm the medical system, but I just find it odd that out of the numerous coronavirus outbreaks we’ve had in recent history, this is the first time we make an effort to contain it by shutting down businesses, churches, events, etc

Frankly, I am just questioning the true motive here.

I admit I don’t have a better solution but I don’t think it’s wise to put hundreds of millions of people out of jobs and in many instances their life savings.

(If they thought there was a suicide epidemic before... 😬)

I am increasingly feeling like this is a test or meant to be a distraction.

This whole time I’ve been more concerned about that than the actual virus tbh

Btw I also wouldn’t even believe the virus even existed if I didn’t know people who work in healthcare 😅 I am seriously paranoid right now
