Many of them also believe this is a 'Scamdemic' and it's all Fake News and similar. Even with the variety of information streams available to them which can tap in to info worldwide, yes live info even, foreign satellites, short wave radio, actual telephone/video calls to people etc they still believe what they want to believe. If it wasn't so damn serious it might be 'hilarious' but it's NOT.
