it wasn't spread on purpose, it escaped because of faulty wastewater sterilization or normal lab escape, and was covered up as it was realized when a mysterious pneumonia was cutting like a scythe through nursing homes around the fort

I don't actually think I know what happened, but the version I posted would generate top tier content, and also we would finally have a functional government as a nice bonus.

The pandemic is definitely being allowed to burn through the surplus population. Love to see case counts juxtaposed with news stories about increased automation eliminating low skill jobs. It's probably nothing. Wonder what's on TV tonight.

the US government created SARS-CoV-2 in a lab at Fort Detrick and released it intentionally for reasons we will only begin to understand during the war crimes trials of US officials after China effortlessly invades and occupies the US in retaliation.

Two weeks after the Chinese invasion, the media will be saying "You can't sit in a bunker with a machine gun forever. It's time to declare the invasion endemic, and go to Olive Garden."

that judge going "yeah it's 100% slam dunk that your employer killed your husband despite a dozen warnings from you, but I can't rule in your favor because it would make rich people sad. DISMISSED" was pretty tone setting

the automation stuff is just magical thinking - if the tech were actually there it would already be deployed regardless of anything else going on. Disaster capitalism is the new primary mode and it is absolutely fine with half of all small and medium businesses going under

So regarding the Deltrick conspiracy theory, just out of curiosity; is it something that could ever be confirmed by a third party besides testimony or finding a paper trail? Like if we exhumed some of the corpses that died of that mysterious respiratory illness, or found some old preserved turds or something, is there any hope? Like how long does COVID 'keep' in a body after they're dead? Is there any sort of smoking gun that could be found through forensics, or would this all be something where there would be no material evidence of that sort and if it was ever proven, it would be done so through finding government records and getting testimony from the criminals responsible?

EDIT: To clarify, I do not actually think this is the case. I feel the zoonotic transmission is still by and far the most probable and plausible explanation, and that everything the government has (not) done is perfectly in line with the fact our government is a failure and beholden to capital.

Look how little they care about us. The last 18 months have shown that most Americans are fine with mass death and that our government can kill us and no one cares. If the government wanted to get rid of excess population, they'd just loving send in the army or the pigs and have them start killing people. It would be cheaper and safer to them than this.

Berkeley has a rule that if you test negative, you aren't required to get tested for 90 days. Testing dramatically down, cases doubled after two weeks.

"Kids, we're driving into that brick wall over there. Put your seatbelt on. If you don't wear your seatbelt, it's your fault if you die in this crash. Hopefully we break through the brick wall with a still-functioning car. I've disabled the airbags because the stupidest people in the world insisted on it."

No samples taken from the waterwater or the nursing homes have ever been made public if they were tested for COVID-19 at all. IIRC a university in the PNW tried to test samples that tested negative for flu they had on ice from a couple months before the "official" start of spread and were told by the feds to knock it off.

So no, we won't know until a wave of declassifications in like 50 years. China went back through their own old samples and found positives as early as November (right after the World Military Games), and then told everybody about it like they did with the genome and spread patterns at the start of that year

like it was almost certainly zoonotic spread from bats, but memorizing the timeline and main plot beats of the Fort Detrick theory is a great way to make people race baiting about Kung Flu or lab escape or whatever really really mad
