@jorgen: We heard the same regarding blacks more susceptible, as well as overweight and "sickly" people, particularly low income sectors.
Then the theory came out regarding race targeting. However the ratio is pretty high among low income folks, (all races) when compared to blacks. The link seems to be in the food lifestyle (overweight from crap foods) and the lack of personal space distancing. Southern USA, where the "hillbillys" live and my home will be soon, high rates there and it is all white where we are moving. Just a poor area of the Nation.
@ Insane: That one is the most believable, and movies have been done based on that idea. And the most likely reason if it was indeed intended!
@bud: That explanation helped me a TON! Great video to educate a naive folk like me. I promise bud to check the dipstick!

One more,, showing that Trump has a stake in the Hydroxychloroquine business. (Down in the article, you will find that his "STAKE" is between $100.00 AND $1,500.00)
Does this have any conspiracy smells about it?

Here is a typical Media report. (Trying to make a conspiracy?) So the TRUTH? Its one of the Potter Fields.
There are over a MILLION bodies buried here, expected to be the largest cemetery in the world. Bodies are buried here every day. NOT FROM COVID!! Did you get that idea from the reporting?? If you have no family to take your body in NYC, this is one place where you become interned.

before all of this happened i heard that we were going to have trouble paying all of those old persons pension, they said that the world population was too old, and some people did not liked that.

many years ago this happened in japan:

In the State I live in, our financial situation is pretty grim. Our "Pension Program" for State Employees has become 40% of the budget as we are told. OUR drain is not because they are elderly. It is because the Union Arbitration deals made with the public sector unions has agreements for their pensions and they are HIGH pensions. I can see Japan saying something like that, albeit in our case here in my State, it is the fault of the CITIZENS, electing the wrong government candidates to fix what is wrong. But this is another story. I live 1.5 hours from New York City and 1.5 hours from Boston. We are still on the "rise" with infections here. The folks "volunteering" to help, in different avenues is humbling at times.

Can anyone confirm if there REALLY were towers (5G) burned or destroyed in Europe from fear? UK especially we were told here.

Maybe the virus was created to control the world population, who knows...  There was a movie I saw recently, whereby a virus was indeed created with a known "death ratio" or percentage, as the population control could be predicted by the death percentage.

And if Mother Nature is the culprit, she must be PRETTY PISSED!!!!!

I have been hearing quite a few "conspiracy theories" out there like you folks have. Some,..............you have to be a nincompoop to believe. Others might require an intelligence quotient below 30 to believe.
Here is a couple I have heard that are quite the giggle, at least for my pea brain.

1) The 5G towers, are the transmitters of the virus. Especially knowing the first 5G tower was in Wuhan. Conspiracy believers are burning towers in Europe we were told yesterday, IF that is even true. (and if it IS true..........just consider that for a short millisecond.)
2) Donald Trump has a stake in the manufacture of Hydroxychloroquine therefore he is pushing the usage to make billions.
3) USA invented the virus and dispersing across the globe.
4) China invented the virus and is dispersing across the globe.
5) Pleiades53 is sneezing at the top of the mountain, spreading "sneeze spoor" laced with Corona to infect the illegal immigrants squatting.
OK, OK, so maybe 5 is irrelevant but I bet you folks have heard some possibly even more far stretched than mine, especially as the responses come from the global members od SiMPLE community.
Got any more? Maybe even some that are more believable? TY.

We also got into another SHORT series, called "Firefly" which bombed. We still like it but the masses did not. Worth a peek if you like the Sci-Fi
I never got into the Babylon Five or Stargate Atlantis. Tried but I guess not my taste.

The old "Stargate SG-1" series went 10 years and 220 or so episodes. I stuff them into the DVD player when I am home sick from work.
Bear in mind its age. It is from the 1990s at its beginning. Takes a few episodes to like the series for some and others not at all.
Might be worth an peek.

Another "Slice-O-Positive" we hopes.

The sheer amount of research and development, occurring right now, is a testament to humans and the drive to succeed, improve, create and design as a race. The offers of Nations to assist each other. The "home grown" solutions to problems. The shift(s) in manufacturing. It is a time to be remembered and not simply for the bad. There is good in this, not to offset the bad, but the good DOES exist. Just look.

You have to correct that America has not helped Iran in the past hundred years except deceit and lies. You Americans link everything to the nuclear issue. It is good that you were afraid of Iranian power. The United States is the first to respond to the massacres in Iraq,Afghanistan  especially in Vietnam and Japan. The tragedy that has affected Japan and Vietnam for years is evident. The people of the world are in crisis and need help,Sanctions are not fair in the current situation.


ALL Governments lie. Look inside yours. Deceit and lies are WELL known in yours as well. We simply need to recognize and admit the truth.
I am quite certain, we do NOT link everything, to the nuclear issue. Yes its rather big, when constant sabre rattling and constant chants of "Death To America" and other countries are publicly shown. (I am pretty sure Americans are not dancing in the streets, burning Iraninan flags while yelling Death to Iran.) I have not seen a single incident in my life of such behavior here.
Nuclear power, in those hands, concerns all humans. I am not sure I understand: "It is good that you were afraid of Iranian power" as benefiting Iran and its people. Perhaps you might consider.........just for a moment,......the impact your Government can have, to BENEFIT its Citizenry, if they put ALL THAT effort, or even a PART of it, into medicinal needs. Future. Study. Ability to care for its own people with those resources. Again, you citizens there have the power to speak to your Government, however the fault of your situation is immediately blamed on someone else, NOT responsible. The USA. The sanctions are not placed on the citizens of Iran. They are a result of the Government actions. And they were in place long before the virus, with no knowledge this was coming of course.
Again, the USA first to respond to crisis as you wrote, does not acknowledge the USA DOES help Nations, all over the globe with help from catastrophe and horrors. Can you tell me a single Country Iran has been there for in a huge emergency? Globally?

https://www.usaid.gov/what-we-do/workin … mes-crisis
https://www.oah.org/tah/issues/2018/feb … ssistance/

This is a TINY slice of aid. You can find much more if you take a look. How about Iran?
I still feel positive the USA will help in any way, in humanitarian needs, that we can through this and I expect even help Iran for the SAKE OF THE PEOPLE, not the Government. I could be wrong too but our hearts see a different light in the sky than governments might. And we here, in the USA, have FULL ABILITY to bitch at our Government when they do what we perceive as wrong. And if we do wrong to others, as you must see in news, the citizens speak. LOUDLY sometimes. Perhaps the citizens of Iran might speak against the issues that have caused the Nation to be more isolated from world involvement.
The sanctions being fair or not, are entirely irrelevant in the middle of a world wide crisis. I know it is personal to you, because it is affecting life there. The sanctions were not imposed, from the virus. The biggest emergency, world wide, does not allow time to suddenly re-visit the sanction process, when ALL governments are fighting for the lives of its Citizens as top priority. You understand the efforts politically right now, are focused on life. Science. Research. Testing. Bolstering manufacturing for the change of economics. Not on relationships between Nations.
What possible reason can there be, to NOT steer your Government to do what is truly, best for the people? Therein lies the true answer to the situation each individual Country is experiencing. People deserve freedom. Its inherent in all humans. Steer them to put the Iranian resources where it will do the best help, for the people. They can return to all the nuke desires they have, after the people are helped as best as possible. Imagine the most advanced medical facility in the world, in Tehran. Imagine the discoveries in medicine, if the efforts were there for that exact reason. Imagine manufacturing to grow from the resources needed to run the development of the medical field, growing within the Country. Why would you NOT want this for your own "people"? Especially now. With this pandemic.
Before this is over, I believe the USA will help EVERY COUNTRY that asks for assistance, that we possibly can, if we have the needed supplies or formula(s) for medicine. And I hope I am right. If I am wrong, I have the ability to stand up and scream at my Government: "You work for me. DO the right thing!!"

Does not mean it will happen of course, however we as Nation will keep steering our Government as we feel is right. And as a citizen here, I am so appreciative, I have that RIGHT to stand and scream as loud as I wish for that change in Government. Or,.......in a perfect election....... vote them out of power.
Stand strong Kin. Again, we are ALL humans. Allied Nations are a source of help too. In such times, use the resources available to its fullest extent. And return the favor to friends and Allies too. If a Nation finds itself short on Allies, its time to ask WHY???.
Wash hands frequently. Keep minimal distances between people. Wash clothing and items that may come in contact with others. Keep hydrated well. Keep the elderly AWAY form people. All this can help. NOT in stopping the virus but in speed of infection overall.

Just as in private life of each individual, when it comes to real crisis then u see who ur real friends are.

We have masks and glows here we are not worry about that I mean Medical equipment such as advanced devices and special clothing.

Kin, to blame the USA and sanctions, as the cause of lack of materials in Iran, is not fair at all. You do understand the USA is in the same position as I believe all Countries are at this time, NOT ENOUGH equipment or supplies for the needs of their own people. And you must understand the USA throughout the past 100 years, has given more to relief and disaster funding, across the globe, than any other Country. As well as we should, having as many resources as we do. I expect we WILL be helping every Country we are capable of, when we have the resources available. Regardless of any and all propaganda floating out there. The sanctions are the result of actions the Iranian Government continues to adhere to. Perhaps your voice, with others, you can ask to divert some or all the current resources for the nuclear development, can be shifted by need, to the medical industry. Significant funds lie there.

The first responsibility of any Government, should be to its own people. When a Pandemic event takes place, each Government holds that responsibility, at least in my little mind. Accountability for ones own actions. Your citizenry might consider requesting your Government, shift some of the technology, funding, manufacture of Medical Equipment, in lieu of the nuclear program which has the globe uncomfortable. I wonder just "how much" would be available to the citizens. Chanting Death to ANY Country, repeatedly, might just be recognized as "hostile" by some folks, leading to isolationism. Folks are pretty leery, or downright against assisting such a neighbor. I believe this event, being global, will see the USA helping as soon as it is able, even to Countries that may be considered "hostile". NOT for the sake of any one Government. But for the sake of the people. Nobody on Earth has this under control or harnessed. And we are truly all in this together, one way or another. Humanity has never focused so intense on a single slice of Science any time in the past.  ALL countries researching and testing. 
Irans past history is steeped in architectural beauty. Stone work that is incredible. Marvels in art. Creation of Algebra and basics of Geometry. The ability to make advances in medicine are well within the reach if funding and planning is placed for the development. Imagine the possibilities.

May we ALL as a globe, fare well through this. And may the finality of this event bring all humans another level up. Not down!!!! To those that have extra, remember your neighbors and brothers and sisters. Lets beat this!

dumb people like you, paul baumer, and the vast majority of humans on planet earth, think theyre smart and do the right thing by not going to work and hiding in their homes. this foolish inactive behaviour will globally result in more deaths than the coronavirus will cause, by severely hurting the global economy. bad global economy = more deaths

also, read my prior posts in this thread, ive repeated myself a lot now

smarten up : dont stay at home, outdoors is safe, go to work, live your normal life, dont be cowards

So "dumb" is a relative word. Let me try to explain. Pretty much it is guaranteed to come to your Town, wherever you live. If one million people are infected in the first 2 weeks, the Hospitals simply cannot keep up with the demand. One million people, in 2 weeks. Just too much.
  Those SAME one million, if we simply SLOW down the speed, hopefully stretching that SAME one million folks, over a Month or 6 weeks, it MIGHT allow the Hospitals a chance to keep up.
  One million are STILL going to get sick, just at a slower pace.
THAT is the SiMPLE reason to try and isolate somewhat, wash hands more thoroughly, ALL the ideas being suggested, are typically from EDUCATED folks, experts and or specialists in this issue. I have a feeling, they MIGHT just know something more than we do. Unless the "WE" are PHD folks.
Not so "dumb" when digested. Just think a small amount over this and it will make sense. Yup we are going to get sick. Yup if we can SLOW down the speed of it, it JUST MIGHT help.  NOTHING to do with a Deity or not. Like you said,........its SCIENCE.
Wishing all HUMANITY (EXCEPT for TKers....... LOL) safe and sound in these times.
