Why does EVERYTHING has to be a conspiracy?

It's a virus, people. Viruses exist in *nature*. Viruses are know to jump from species to species from time to time. It's not rocket science. I know you feel cool telling us these "secrets" only a few chosen know. I know it feels cool when everyone else is in awe at this knowledge only you possess. But seriously, at the end of the day, it's just feel-good BS...

People rather believe that someone is in "control", instead of accepting the scary reality that it's utter chaos out there and no one is in charge of this mess...

Anyone who has known an immunologist - I've worked with a few - knows that they've been waiting for one like this for decades. It's not surprising, and any government poorly prepared (like Australia - airports didn't screen people at all; or USA - Obama set up a group to prepare and Trump dismantled them and set up a space force instead) hasn't done their duty.

Conspiracy theories - my observation is that people who feel powerless in their life are more likely to turn to these. Yes, it's a generalisation and not based on any research - just a personal conjecture.

That's exactly it. They feel a measure of control by believing they "know the truth"...
