The equivalent Chinese conspiracy theories that it’s the Americans that planted it actually makes more sense. (To be clear both are bollocks, this is an event we’ve been predicting for years).

Does he have an explanation for our death rate?
Agreed !
Post pandemic may feel like there has been some sort of conflict mind.

Who knows. It's way above my pay grade. But like a previous poster said,something really is fishy with all this. It wouldn't surprise me if china actually has a cure for this.

You are fucking sick in the head making a joke about how long it would take to give each victim 30 seconds.
Enjoy your leisurely breakfast. Are the bins out the back of Aldi socially distanced.

The Chinese have a conspiracy theory it came from Fort Detrick.
I don't believe it but it's probably just as feasible as any of the other conspiracy theories.

My worry is there won’t be one. I woke up to George Osborne of all people being asked what we should do on R4!
Why are we asking a journalist with a degree in History and not an actual economist? Madness.
Of course his hair brained scheme is to cut spending. Because that worked so well last time when he nearly put us in double dip recession, had to u-turn, then gave us the slowest recovery in history.
I only hope the Brexit loonies realise how they can’t do austerity right after Brexit or people will wonder where the land of milk and honey they were promised went.
My kingdom for a competent government with an understanding of macroeconomics.

I can see a lot of the people making snide comments about China being innocent are the same ones that only want to talk about the tories.
I recommend everyone to watch the Coronavirus documentary on Netflix for a basic science lesson. It's only about 20 minutes long.
I for one am not suggesting this was man made as such, but the reaction of China when they found out about it was criminal. I'm gobsmacked that they unleashed their citizens on the rest of the world when they knew how serious it could be. The lack of reaction can only be deliberate in my eyes.
What was the motivation? Who knows. Just look at the bank of China bailing out a distressed Norwegian Airlines and maybe there is some clue.
Also the fact so many countries were so slow to close their borders is still baffling me. Then again, when there has been accusations from the Chinese government that it would be racist to do so, I would think that whole notion had some part to play.
This thing is really strange, also it is of very little risk to younger people. The continuation of society getting back to normal should be done with that in mind, but clearly has not been.

Accusing the Chinese of not reacting to the virus correctly or not warning the rest of the world quickly enough is a totally different type of accusation to they did it deliberately.
I would not be surprised if that turned out to be the case that their reaction was poor.
Yes the generational side of this is curious.

It's bonkers, full stop. May as well say (which some have!) that our reaction as a country was a deliberate willed attempt to cull old people.

Watch the documentary on Netflix and then give me a reply with some added scientific knowledge.
With SARS and MERS, this really was a very very similar kind of outbreak. They have had enough practice drills and would have known exactly how dangerous it could have been.
They had very little intention of stopping this spreading outside of China initially, when the rest of the world was generally oblivious to what was going on.

Occam’s Razor would surely suggest that the Chinese, being as they are oppressive and overly worried about bad PR were slow to let the world know the full scale of the threat and have been suppressing their numbers.
They’re a country that has built its economic success on selling crap to western consumers. The idea they want to cripple consumer spending in western nations makes no sense at all.
And yes, people who don’t believe in conspiracy theories also don’t rate the Tories. I wonder why.

Talk to scientists, and then give me a reply with some added scientific knowledge instead of this utter, utter bollocks.

I think it’s highly likely that the Chinese government downplayed it, hell our own government downplayed it, the American government downplayed it, the Russian government downplayed it, the Brazilian government downplayed etc. Most of these governments continue to downplay it.
Did the Chinese cover it up? To some extent no doubt. But then again we selectively report deaths so we’re covering it up, we lie in parliament about it so we’re covering it up, we have stats that one week that are important and the next irrelevant when they stop painting the “right” picture so we’re covering it up.
Let him without sin cast the first stone.

Let's not forget there were clear warnings given to successive UK government's that this was going to happen going back to Blair's time as PM and the 2016 pandemic drill, (was it operation cygnet) informed us we weren't prepared and successive governments ignored those warnings

You don't like what I'm saying so you try to make it sound as if I'm stupid. It's a pretty obvious trick.
China were 'at best' extremely slow in curtailing this from spreading to the rest of the world, at worst they did it deliberately to cause chaos. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
I honestly suggest you do some research into how viruses work, and some of the ones that have broken in modern history. Then come back and try to tell me everything was just a silly accident and no one had a clue.

I am a scientist. I think you're pushing a conspiracy that goes along with your views on Germany trying to take over the continent. It's odd as at other times you come across as quite reasonable and balanced and other times keep pushing these ideas without much thought about how our own actions look to the rest of the world. We are number one in the European death charts despite being an island and having had much more advance warning than some other countries who have coped better.
Nobody here has a vested interest in defending China.

China deffo covered it up, if people think different then they are idiots..... that being said I don’t think they thought that it would be this bad and by then it was too late
They deffo lied but people on this thread will defend them to the death

Can you understand English?
People, including myself, have said we wouldn't be surprised if they covered it up but disagreed they released virus on purpose.

Dude, nobody here is doing that. We're just saying that China didn't unleash a virus on its own people to infect the world. If that were its motive, why wouldn't it release the virus somewhere else?
