Such as the fact that they don't believe in science or facts. Though they use science to get through their daily lives (internet, transportation, medication, etc.), somehow, part of the population is convinced that the virus is a conspiracy created just to inconvenience them.
We're all familiar with such folks. That's why Redditor u/yenake asked, "What is the dumbest Coronavirus theory you heard from someone?"
20. Follow the money...
That it was invented by anyone. You're a ****ng idiot if you're suggesting people are out here bioengineering diseases in secret and also not selling a cure that works.
I never heard the melanin theory....
I just remember early on when cases were still low there were black people who truly believed they couldn't get it because they have more melanin in their skin...and now the black community unfortunately has some of the most cases so look how that turned out
Reversable masks!
That wearing the mask blue side out protects others, while wearing the white side out protects yourself.
The one thing leaders will cooperate on
That viruses in general don't exist and that Corona was invented to take away fundamental rights in my country. Sure, the countries in the world can never agree on anything, but suddenly they can all work together and fake a global pandemic to take away rights from people in one country.
Viruses aren't homophobic
Hey, remember that priest that said Coronavirus is God's punishment for the gays. And then he caught it.
If he truly believes what he said, the only logical conclusion must be that he's gay.
Everyone needs to wear a mask
That it's a conspiracy to kill off black people by restricting our breathing with the masks, and that all white people are in on it.
Still waiting on that Rapture
In my moms words "Coronavirus was created by the shadow elite and as agents of the devil And bIg pharma they're going to make billions of dollars off the vaccine and the vaccine, which is synonymous with the mark of the beast, will contain bio chips,poison, and gene altering compounds that will fill our bodies with cancer all while making us their slaves and we will suffer for the remainder of our time on earth until the rapture begins and we are sentenced to hell on earth."
Stay away from my knee fluid
That doctors made up Covid-19 so they could steal synovial fluid off people and sell it in the black market. Just a drop of this fluid is worth billions, and all medical staff are out to lie to you ate steal your knee synovial fluid.
The aliens did it
party dancing GIFGiphyMy cousin said that the reason the virus started was due to the space defense system failing to stop an alien from reaching Earth.
Some presidential advice
You should inject yourself with cleaning supplies to ward away covid.
Thanks Donald, that's really helpful. What should if there's a fire? Open all the windows and doors, and wait inside for help?
The world doesn't revolve around you
That it doesn't exist because "I don't know anyone who has it"
I had a few customers say something similar. "I've never met someone that had it." You can imagine their surprise when I said "well, now you have." The responses were everything from incredibly dismissive to revulsion to genuine fear.
Phones aren't even that reliable
Wire inside masks (the one that on certain masks you have to push down to make tighter over your nose) is connected to 5G towers and is making the coronavirus worse. Coworker was dead serious, too.
That's incredible tech if you can get reliable connections from stuff in a 5-pack at the dollar store. Wish Sprint was that reliable.
Spoiler - there's no chip
One of my cousins told me that 5G chips are directly inserted in the masks offered by institutions and you get directly infected by wearing the masks.
I asked him to prove it to me by showing me a 5G chip in one of the masks.
They were a no show
In March my country's health minister basically said that Corona will all blow over by April. When asked what will be different in April, he responded something to the effect of "The messiah will come in April".
Spoiler alert: no messiah. (I could be somewhat foggy on the details.)
Where'd they get that idea?
Coronavirus can spread through in-game voicechat
Had a friend hang up on me when I told her I tested positve
I'll take my chances
some people seriously believe that corona virus can be cured by drinking cow urine
I'd rather take my chances with the virus.
How to lose a crush immediatelyÂ
A guy I knew and liked told me to my face that 5G towers were giving people Covid. Nothing I said would shift him In that belief. In the end I just told him that was what Flatards would say and he took massive offence. Haven't seen him since
The source does not exist
That 'COVID-19' stands for 'China Originating Viral Infectious Disease - (batch) 19.' WHO confirmed it and everything apparently. No sources available when I asked for them.
Drink your beers in peace
You can get corona from the beer corona people actually believed and tried to ban the beer
If the Corona beer company went out of business because of human stupidity I would literally design a rocket and **** off into space somewhere else.

Reddit user Alaskan_Lost asked:
What is something most people need to hear but no one has the guts to tell people?
Big mood.
"High school was a long time ago. We haven't aged well. In fact, we look like our parents. And I don't remember you."
"I'm 23 and I already forgot most of the people."
"Just started working at a daycare a couple weeks ago and yeah... it's really heartbreaking watching sh*tty parents ruin a good kid."
SERIOUSLY!
"Stop looking at your phone while driving."
"It's probably because I told them go f yourself."
"They're both very dangerous. A phone can suck you in with it's content, you forget you're driving. And your face is supposed to be pointed at the road, either way. There is no excuse for drunk driving or using your phone. People think they have control over their actions until they don't. But then it's too late."
"Being hit by a car hurts so much, you cannot even begin to imagine. And the psychological trauma is something that sticks for years and years and ruins your everyday life. Nobody should need to have therapy because some moron hit them with a car!!"
"And killing somebody because you couldn't leave your phone for a second? Good luck living with that on your conscience for the rest of your miserable life."
"My ex-sister in law was b*tching for the 1,000th time about how everyone she worked with sucked, this person was awful, that person was the worst, yadda yadda. I'd finally had enough and said, "Michelle, there is one constant in this equation, this is a literal you problem". Last time I spoke to her, haaaaaaa."
"Such sweet silence."
Learned this the hard way.
"Not everyone wants to be your friend. Nice does not mean loyalty. This goes double for coworkers."
"Best way I heard this was, "You could be the juiciest peach ever created, but some people just don't like peaches."
Imma cut you off right there.
Giphy"Shut up and let people finish their sentences. Stop interrupting."
"There is only one occasion it's ok to interrupt someone. And that's when that someone is a conversation dominator who literally will not stop the flow of words from their mouth to let anyone else participate. Especially when in a group setting."
"I have a friend who does this, and if we don't interrupt her then it becomes a never ending reel of just her voice all night, and she expects everyone to listen. Yeah, no thanks, ima cut you off right there and see how everyone else is doing!"
Not the peppers!
"No." Some people are socially anxious and can be extremely compliant. Saying no won't hurt someones feelings most of the time."
"The guy at the sandwich shop I went to asked me if I would get an uber (from my account) for his friend who looked like he was from the Hills Have Eyes. I said "No" and the a-hole didn't put the peppers on my sandwich."
Sometimes you have to speak up to fix a situation... and sometimes it's best to know when to hold your breath.
Do you have any example? Let us know in the comments below.
