    And as I've pointed out, there seems to be incredible coincidences in so many of these monumental occurrences we're experiencing.

    Which once again doesn't mean that every event is organised in advance. Proof could come out that the others you mentioned were planned but that still wouldn't mean this one is the same.

    I just want to point out that I'm not against the idea that some governments and others in positions of wealth and power have manipulated and create events with nefarious intent. And this one could be the same. However I'd need pretty damning evidence to accept it.

    And that's all I've ever called for in people.

    To keep an open mind and not be ashamed to question things.

    What was the point you were trying to make?
    Given that SARs was also a coronavirus and in the not to distant past I wouldn't be surprised that was why they chose to use it

    I didn't say anything about "amongst other forms of viruses" I just said it was "common"

    Although I suspect I know the answer - did you ever play the online game Pandemic 2? It was released in 2008.

    It's a silly flash game, where the goal is to infect the entire population of the Globe.

    The reason I bring it up, is because there are certain 'game mechanics' that have real-world equivalences, such as how long someone can be a carrier before symptoms start showing - which seems to be a major difference between this evolution of Coronavirus and SARS.

    When pandemics are hypothesized, often varients of Influenza or other highly mutable, transmittable (which includes Coronavirus) diseases are used.

    Just a thought.

    The possibility of "patient zero" being identified on November 17th may mean that he had been contracted the virus 7-14 days prior to that (article lacks detail in this respect) puts this right on top of the release date of the YouTube video. A bit sus?

    You'd think so, wouldn't you?

    Unfortunately, raising questions seems to scare a large number of people on here.

    Clearly it risks bursting their little safety bubbles.

    It depends what it's used for I suppose. Some people may see it as stirring, others may be scared etc.

    I teach my children to challenge what they are taught, what they read and hear. I want them asking questions.

    Definitely a good skill to impart to the younger generation considering the attitude of so many now to just accept all they read, hear and see online, much of which is utter bollocks.

    Anything is possible. But coincidence surely isn't evidence? Show me some convincing evidence and I'll consider my bubble burst.

    Proving something beyond a reasonable doubt is never easy, just look at the 'justice' system.
