Seems like a strange and ineffective way to achieve that.Or, that death from the virus was not the desired end result, but rather a digitized surveilled world?

Oh anything's possible, but I guess when it comes to things like this, I generally resort to Bayesian Logic, unless I find something that tips the scales in the other direction.Or, that death from the virus was not the desired end result, but rather a digitized surveilled world?

Sorry for some of my replies, Chic! I thought you were being serious! You were testing us, right? Good one!Au contraire. It's been very effective. People are rapidly embracing a digitized world which was largely introduced because so many were so terrified of covid that a touch free cashless world with as little physical contact with others as possible appealed to them and still does. People are paying for stuff with a chip implanted in their hand. Just wait until criminals get a load of this.
I think you are right, in that COVID accelerated a process that was already happening. We just got moved up a couple of years. Do you see anything wrong with that?Au contraire.

I was skeptical when I read this, but sure enough it's true... Not going to get one in my hand. What happens when you need a new chip or account? Surgical removal?People are paying for stuff with a chip implanted in their hand. Just wait until criminals get a load of this.
Well, I think I owe Chic an apology! In my mind she presented a vision where EVERYONE was being forced to being implanted or to do all their shopping electronically because of world-wide data collected with the help of Covid! If I misunderstood, I am sorry!I think you are right, in that COVID accelerated a process that was already happening. We just got moved up a couple of years. Do you see anything wrong with that?

My dog has a chip, but don't think she can pay for stuff with it, hope not anyway. That's the only chip going into anyone in my household.

That mirrors my thinking. I'm sure the truth will one day be known.I suppose anything is possible, but it seems rather counterproductive to unleash something that kills a great deal of people in your own country, if your goal is to use it against your enemy. It seems like drinking poison and expecting your enemy to die from it.
I think the most likely case is that it originated in bats like most SARS type coronaviruses do, then was transferred to other animals that ate the bats, and those other animals were sold at the animal food markets where the original infections were traced back to. Zoonosis happens quite often where diseases are transferred that way. I have no reason to conclude this was any different. But then I am always a skeptic of conspiracy theories.
The chip implant theory is ridiculous.I think you are right, in that COVID accelerated a process that was already happening. We just got moved up a couple of years. Do you see anything wrong with that?

Cannot argue with this assessment.I was afraid my post would be removed without that remark, Myrtle! As for me being political, naw! I just know that Twitter (through its many contributors) and Fox News (for ratings' sake) love to promote conspiracies.
Yes, I know there are approx 8 billion humans maybe will be less shortly. And yes, I do believe they want us to live as consumer slaves. Smart enough to desire and spend what little they will allow us to have but stupid enough to believe in the trap they are setting for us.You realise you are talking about 8 Billion Human Beings, Chic? Can you think of any computer that could keep track of all of us? Or would want to?
Sorry Chic, I still can't wrap my head around that scenario! How would it work? Would the world's biggest economies, China and the U.S., combine their efforts, make a comprehensive surveillance of all in order to create obedient consumers and promote a sort of enslaving super-capitalism? Would they exclude third-world countries who can barely afford their daily bread!Yes, I know there are approx 8 billion humans maybe will be less shortly.

Absolutely and throw out anything with an internet connection, TV, computers, etc.@chic ….our cell phones are the biggest…and most accurate tracking devices ever. If you are worried about this…put down your cell phone.
Do you really think very many people are so trusting in the government? Most of the people I know have a healthy skepticism, no matter what their positions on the Covid related issues. Distrust of the government is a kind of American thing... or so I believe.Some people trust the government above everything. It's like a second daddy to them. Covid proved that.
That's true in general, Myrtle! But if some of the sources just aren't credible? There's a lot of false information out there that's being accepted now because the lie has been forwarded to others countless times, and now because so many believe it, it must be true! Forget about your dislike of Government and look at chic's proposition of what might happen shortly, or is happening already .... carefully!Some people trust the government above everything. It's like a second daddy to them. Covid proved that. Have you never heard the story of the frog in boiling water? It's the same thing as the chain links.
It seems wise to me to stay well informed from various sources, instead of trusting blindly, but that's just me.
Well, I don't put my total trust in Government either. Politicians are flawed, sometimes corrupt, often controlled by the Big Guys behind the scenes but I really prefer having an all too human government to having mob rule! Trust me, it can be horrifying to have a bunch of fanatics march through your streets, with no one to stop them.Do you really think very many people are so trusting in the government?

I have a deep seated mistrust of the government and most large bureaucracies.
With respect to Covid I listened to lots of people, but really relied on the statistics I could find and my own intuition. I decided to get the vaccines because I believed they would reduce my risk of illness. And I think they have. I did not follow all of the mask guidance, but I did wear a mask when it was expected. And whenever I thought I might be sick. Not because any government agency told me to do it, but because I thought it was the right thing to do. I believe many, probably most, Americans think something like this and made their own decisions accordingly.
I really think that far too many Americans are uninformed. Much of the news is unpleasant. Many simply ignore information and the idea of checking various sources is overwhelming to them.Do you really think very many people are so trusting in the government?

Seriously? Of course some of the sources won't be credible but we won't know which ones they are if we don't take a sampling of them. We could probably say that all sources slant stories and be correct. However, there are some well known sources that simply ignore the stories that don't meet their agenda.That's true in general, Myrtle! But if some of the sources just aren't credible?

I guess I'm not sure how you jumped from what anyone just said to mob rule. You know there is a middle ground of rooting out the corruption and reinstalling justice but that is hard, hard work and requires an informed citizenry.Well, I don't put my total trust in Government either.

Can't argue with that!Anyway, all I'm saying and always say is it's a good thing to be informed from a multitude of sources.
What is that? Better than the Covid vaccine?We have much better stuff than COVID vaccine. COVID vaccine takes too long to act.
Of course we do, and its no secret. Hope they are never used.The U.S.frowns on biological weapons during war. But, that doesn’t mean we don’t have any.
Oh, but it is a secret. They even have code names, which I do not know or ever heard mentioned. This is what I know and so does everyone else.What is that? Better than the Covid vaccine?
Of course we do, and its no secret. Hope they are never used.
test run for the big next will be much worse more controlled so say the predicters who have been right or seem to all along. you know....the thingSure it could have been a bio-weapon and it probably was. Maybe it slipped out too early. Maybe they will try again.
Exactly!!!!!!!! You got it.Sorry Chic, I still can't wrap my head around that scenario! How would it work? Would the world's biggest economies, China and the U.S., combine their efforts, make a comprehensive surveillance of all in order to create obedient consumers and promote a sort of enslaving super-capitalism? Would they exclude third-world countries who can barely afford their daily bread!
A method of mind control for individuals in capitalist countries is already in place. We are encouraged every day through commercials, through influencers, to buy, buy, buy! Yay, we're all consumers, and credit cards are maxed and unpaid bills pile up! And both have to work now where one was enough in the past!
Would they try again so soon when there has been a lot of exposure and at least some pushback? I almost think they should leave this generation alone and accept defeat while waiting for a weaker generation. to exploit.test run for the big next will be much worse more controlled so say the predicters who have been right or seem to all along. you know....the thing
