It honestly sounds frightening to have conspiracies and malicious intentions hiding behind every tree. It's like Australia, except the spiders are conspiracies.
SiliconWizard:
Beyond the whole conspiracy stuff, there are two main questions here IMO, that appear legit to ask.

First is about the virus itself, how bad it really is (it seems again hard to deny that it's worse than seasonal flu), and where exactly it comes from. This last point, from what I've read, is still not completely clear. There are still several hypotheses.

Second is indeed about instilling fear into populations all over the world, beginning, as I mentioned in another thread, with the fear of others. Anyone can now be a direct threat to others, without even knowing it. I for one am absolutely not saying this was done on purpose, and just the fact this virus is spreading was enough to have this as a consequence. But i'll just have to admit that it gives great opportunities for population control, and the whole confinement, an excellent exercise to test population compliance.

Some will see all this as a plot. Others, like me currently (until I get proof of otherwise), just see this as an opportunity that is likely to be taken by at least some governments to better control their populations. Opportunities are not, in general, causes.

I don't think governments need a plot. If someone powerful wants to grab more power they can just do so. If the government really wants more control it's easy enough to grab more control, laws get tacked onto unrelated bills all the time, it wouldn't be hard to make up an excuse for any number of things. It doesn't take a conspiracy, heck build a site like Facebook and people are voluntarily handing over their information and privacy to an unknown entity, no dramatic event required.
