First, there's the idea that none of this is really happening at all. It's just me that's imagining it. Meanwhile, the world is going on as usual.
Second is the idea that what's happening is just a television drama that the public mistook for a real pandemic. Or perhaps it's a fabrication by an oligarchy that wants to shake up society "just to see what a real pandemic would be like." Or perhaps the goal was to upset the economy, so as to sell equities at a high price and then re-buy them at 30% lower price.
I'm glad I recently joined this forum -- it's a good place to "go crazy" in.

First of all, welcome to the forum!!
I’ve been lucky so far to not have lived neither in a period of war, so for me, also, at the beginning of this all, it was hard to believe it. After a week of confinement what I felt was that I was in a nightmare, in the sense that it was something bad but still didn’t seem real.
It’s interesting what you mention about bizarre ideas. I would bet many people wonder and have similar ideas. What I’m more interested in is why we may wonder these questions.
I also had these bizarre ideas, of course, I discard them soon but why I had them. Could it be that we got to believe ourselves so powerful that we can’t ever think of a cause other than that role by the human being.
