I'm personally not into conspiracy theories, but from time to time some conspiracies turn out to be true. I saw video on YouTube the other day, which showed how CBS news gathered random people around hospital to make the hospital look more busy than it actually was and the hospital head even had to admit it later on. Then I read news, where the COVID test results were double counted per person. Then you see videos of doctors talking about the virus and showing the inside of the hospital and they say it's nothing unusual. I don't know what you call conspiracy, but this thing seems to be greatly over exaggerated. The virus is definitely very real and killing people, but it's absolutely disgusting for news companies to waste resources on mask and other gear to just create scene for themselves on TV.
