Anyone ever get a feeling the virus is a hoax?

2019 New York Times Dealbook

Bill Gates, Co-Chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has warned of a pandemic for years. ... [+]
GETTY IMAGES FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES
What do you get after trying to prepare people for an infectious disease pandemic? How about being accused of causing a pandemic when it actually occurs?

Over the past decade, Bill Gates has been warning about the lack of preparation and systems in place to deal with infectious disease threats that could lead to a pandemic. Two years ago, I covered for Forbes some of these warnings. Now that the world is actually in the midst of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, take a wild guess as to whom some conspiracy theorists are now blaming for the pandemic?
Hint, the answer rhymes with chill dates. Yep, some people on social media have been accusing Gates of starting the severe acute respiratory syndrome–coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) pandemic. This is after Gates, the billionaire Microsoft co-founder turned philanthropist, has spent much of the second act of his career initiating and supporting efforts to prevent and control infectious diseases via the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has funded some of our PHICOR team’s computer modeling research efforts to improve product distribution and disease control. This is after Gates has on multiple occasions pushed for more awareness about the possibility of a pandemic and more efforts to prevent this possibility, such as in this 2015 TED talk:

Yet, now conspiracy theorists are claiming that Gates somehow created this pandemic. Isn’t this like blaming someone for causing a heart attack after he or she has warned you for years about such a possibility?

Judge every piece of information for yourself as to its accuracy. Do not rely on others to tell you what is true. Verify everything you hear from at least three reliable sources, before making any decisions that you may regret later on).

There have been lots of conspiracy theories circulating around about CoVid-19. Remember one thing above all. None of it can be proven.

The link to the article would have provided every thing needed...photo and everything written in your post. Just suggesting that may have been easier on ya PnT and the large picture wouldn't have been an issue. :ROFLMAO: There's more to the Bill Gates conspiracy than him warning about the virus. More on that later.
Now for your question: I've read about a few people who think the virus is a hoax...several have died from this hoax. Here's the latest one:

And the people who tell us to wear masks & socially isolate are not doing it themselves, which I take as an insult to my intelligence.

The fact you see this as just the flu says all we need to know about your intelligence

I've heard that worldwide wars bring down the population counts....could this be another way that maybe China decided would decrease their population and maybe the other world leaders were thinking the same? Just a thought here.....the world IS very much over populated as we all know....don't know if the birth rates are higher or lower than the death rates worldwide, as in equaling out each other.

I don't think China is overly concerned about their population anymore. They removed the "one child per family" law years ago.

With the 5G hypothesis, when all theories fail to convince, just say it ruins the immune system. I call bunkum.

How is it that we believe the scientists about this virus yet snub our nose at the well documented research effects of wireless technology.

If this virus has the greatest impact on those with weak immune systems and the telecommunications systems we use are weakening our immune systems then YES , it’s something to be concerned about and IS relevant.

More than 353 scientists and doctors in over 40 countries published peer reviewed studies on the biological and health effects of nonionized electromagnetic fields ( EMF ) and these scientific publications ( over 500 studies ) have shown the EMF affects on organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines .

Effects include: increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increased harmful free radicals , genetic damage, structural and functional changes in the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders and a negative impact on the general well being in humans. There is evidence of the harmful effects to both plant and animal life.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Covid-19 connection to wireless technology - I doubt it. But as far as wireless tech goes, I found an interesting opinion piece that is very readable can be seen here:

https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/we-have-no-reason-to-believe-5g-is-safe/

"The telecommunications industry and their experts have accused many scientists who have researched the effects of cell phone radiation of "fear mongering" over the advent of wireless technology's 5G. Since much of our research is publicly-funded, we believe it is our ethical responsibility to inform the public about what the peer-reviewed scientific literature tells us about the health risks from wireless radiation."

Aren't the frequency emissions from any electronic device very low, that surrounds us, so as not to cause any serious physical damage?

5G works completely different than other telecommunications. They are shorter and higher frequency waves that cause more radiation and more physical damage according to 353 scientists and doctors who have researched and studied all of this which is why there’s a petition going on to try and stop it. ALL these qualified professionals can’t all be quacks. Why would they want to mislead any of us? What would be in it for them?

Here's a third one if you care to continue reading:

A third of Americans believe Covid-19 laboratory conspiracy theory – study
Pew Research report revealed most Americans believed Covid-19 came about naturally, but 29% believed it was created in a lab....
The last thing America needed on top of a president still in denial over the state current pandemic is the rest of the population believing conspiracies about it, but here we are.

While scientists agree that the virus emerged from nature, the uncertainty over how people were first infected by Covid-19 has left space for misinformation to grow. In Britain, that has meant the propagation of a random conspiracy theory about a link between coronavirus and 5G wireless technology – which almost a third of people say they can’t rule out.

Have I already had coronavirus? How would I know and what should I do?

In the US, according to a new report by the Pew Research Center, about a third of Americans surveyed believe that Covid-19 was created by humans in a laboratory.

Pew surveyed 8,914 American adults, asking them whether they believed that 1) the current strain of the coronavirus “came about naturally”; 2) “was developed intentionally in a lab”; 3) “was made accidentally in a lab”; or 4) “doesn’t really exist”.

Most Americans surveyed in the report (43%) believed that Covid-19 most likely came about naturally, but nearly three in 10 (29%) said it most likely was created in a lab. What’s more, most of those who believed the virus was created in a lab believed it was done so intentionally (23%). A quarter said they weren’t sure where the virus originated, while 1% believed that the virus does not exist.

The research showed that the conspiracy was more prevalent among younger people than adults: about a third of adults aged 18 to 29 said the virus was developed in a lab (35%), compared with 21% of adults 65 and older. A fifth (19%) of people with a bachelor’s degree or higher believed that the coronavirus was created in a lab.

(There have been lots of conspiracy theories circulating around about CoVid-19. Remember one thing above all. None of it can be proven.)

As with many of these so called reports, very few people have been polled, only 8,914 American adults.

These percentages of Americans touted are indicative of nothing.
