Is there more to this than we know?

[Andy_Roker1983]

Serious question, not trying to be some conspiracy nut job (although this may sound like it) but does anyone think there’s a chance that there could be more to this than we know?

With the furlong pay and declaring what you earn etc, Will this make it a lot harder for people to fiddle the tax system in future? Bring permanent tax changes. If we move more to a cashless society, this would bring in millions in extra tax.
Tracking and tracing apps on your phone, giving details when going to the pub. Easier for the police/less trouble.
is it a way of gaining greater control over certain things?
The numbers go down when the government want people back to work, there’s stories of deaths being wrongly attributed to C-19.
I bet some of the above will change permanently and be around long after Covid.

On the other hand could it have came from a lab in China? when big western businesses hit financial trouble due to the economic impact the Chinese step in and buy it, more power over the west for China. Wars aren’t fort on the battle field anymore.

Most likely it’s genuinely just a pandemic which originated as we are told but I do like a good conspiracy thread

Its a hell of a payout by the government to potentially get a bit extra tax back in.
oh and it came from a lab in wuhan

I don't believe any conspiracy theories about governments trying to control people and certainly not to get a few extra tax pounds in. I do think the virus is man made though.

I’ll start with your first point but what’s wrong with the government ensuring everyone pays the taxes they owe

nothing wrong at all, maybe the government will use this as an opportunity to change the system, make it fairer. I’d like to see people pay the correct tax as I’ve always been PAYE so I’ve always payed the right amount.

see point 2 I think that’s most likely.

 

[Silly Point]

Don't believe in any of the conspiracy shite. Not sure what's so hard to believe about it starting in one of those shitty markets.

It's a natural event that has taken our modern world completely by surprise

And it’s happened plenty of times before, it’s hardly a unique event.

it seems like the perfect virus though, Very transmissible, dangerous but not too deadly to stop it spreading.

Why wouldn't nature be able to produce such a virus?

 

[Andy_Roker1983]

Im not saying it couldn’t, but I also don’t think it’s beyond the realms of possibility that it was made in a lab either.

 

[Northern_chappy]

No I dont think so. But if it helps to reduce tax evasion then its one positive to take from all this.

Most viruses aren't particularly deadly, this one is not exceptional in that respect.

There is zero credible evidence of that: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/22221751.2020.1733440

What a load of codswallop.

Just putting it out there, even so do you think we have been told everything?
Having not lived through this type of event before I just find it surreal. You may remember the last pandemic though, Spanish flu?

Cheeky young buck. That’s the thanks I get for taking you to Roker Park

Don't forget it does the most damage to the elderly and frail. China has a problem with an aging population.

Furlong scheme
